Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Victory on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Commodus. Victory is depicted standing left, holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the triumph and glory of the Roman Empire. The inclusion of Victory on the coinage of Commodus may have been a way to emphasize the emperor's military victories and reinforce the idea of Roman supremacy.
