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 Geta. 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 not typically depicted on Roman coins, making it a unique and significant artifact of Roman history.
