Interesting fact
The Denarius (FIDEI EXER) (193-194) from Usurpations of Syria (Roman Imperial usurpations) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 193 to 211 AD, and was part of a series of coins minted to commemorate the emperor's military victories and imperial propaganda. The coin's design features the image of the emperor on one side and the goddess Fides (representing loyalty and faith) on the other, with the inscription "FIDEI EXER" meaning "Exercitus Fidelis" or "Faithful Army." The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
