Interesting fact
The coin features a portrait of Publius Manlius Vulso, a Roman consul and military leader, on one side, and the image of Roma, the personification of the city of Rome, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great expansion and military conquest for the Roman Republic, and it's interesting to note that the image of Roma on the coin was meant to symbolize the power and influence of the Roman state.
