Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman empress Julia Domna, who was known for her intelligence, political influence, and beauty. She was the wife of Septimius Severus and the mother of Caracalla, and her image appears on many coins from this period. The coin's design and inscription, including the phrase "AETERNIT IMPERI" (eternal empire), reflect the ideals of Roman imperial power and the desire for a long-lasting and prosperous reign.
