The Denarius - Augustus (CONCORD; Concordia) (68-69) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which represents harmony and unity. This image was chosen by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, to promote the idea of unity and stability in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the empire, and the image of Concordia served as a symbol of the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace, which was a period of relative peace and stability that lasted for over 200 years.
