Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the As - Florianus coin is that it features the image of Sol, the Roman god of the sun, on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and prosperity, as the sun was often associated with those qualities in ancient cultures.
