Interesting fact
The coin featuring Julia Domna, the wife of Emperor Septimius Severus, is notable for its depiction of the Roman goddess Juno on the reverse side. Juno was the goddess of marriage and childbirth, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to highlight Julia Domna's role as a matriarch and her importance in the Severan dynasty.
