Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Commodus coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Securitas (Security) on its reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Commodus. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was focused on maintaining peace and security within its borders.
