Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Caecilla Paulina (CONSECRATIO) coin is that it features an image of a woman, Caecilla Paulina, who was a prominent figure in Roman society during the 3rd century AD. This is notable because women were not commonly depicted on Roman coins during this time period, making this coin a rare and unique example of women's representation in ancient Roman currency.
