Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, on its reverse side. This highlights the importance of Roman mythology and the worship of deities during the time of the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's minting in Lugdunum (present-day Lyon, France) suggests that the Roman Empire had a widespread and organized system of currency production and distribution.
