Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Geta (NOBILITAS; Nobilitas) coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Greek influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of Emperor Geta, while the reverse (back) side features the goddess Nobilitas, who represents the concept of nobility or excellence. This blending of Roman imperial imagery with Greek mythological symbols reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Roman Empire's expansion into Greek territories.
