Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of Pan, the god of the wild, on the other. This combination of a powerful leader and a mythological figure reflects the blending of political and religious themes that was common in Roman coinage during this period.
