Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Julia Domna, who was the wife of Septimius Severus and the mother of Caracalla. She was known for her intelligence, political influence, and her efforts to promote the cult of the Roman empress. This coin was minted during a time when women were increasingly playing a more prominent role in Roman society and politics, and Julia Domna's image on the coin reflects her importance and influence during this period.
