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 name of the city Pompeiopolis, where it was minted, on the other side. This coin was minted during Nero's reign, making it a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians interested in ancient Roman history.
