Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and the Greek inscription "ΔΟΚΙΜΕΩΝ" (meaning "of the Conventus") on the other side, indicating that it was issued by the Conventus of Synnada, a regional administrative division of the Roman Empire.
