Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Julia Domna coin is that it features the image of a woman, Julia Domna, who was the wife of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and the mother of Caracalla and Geta. This is significant because it was not common for women to be depicted on Roman coins during this time period, making it a unique and notable feature of this particular coin.
