Interesting fact
The Denarius - Crispina (CONCORDIA) coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius Commodus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 180 to 192 AD. The coin's obverse side features the image of Crispina, the empress, while the reverse side features the goddess Concordia, who represents harmony and unity. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of unity and stability within the empire, which was particularly important during a time of political and social unrest.
