Interesting fact
The Denarius - Galba coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Galba, who ruled the Roman Empire from 68 to 69 AD. The coin's design features a depiction of the goddess Victory on the obverse (front side), and the Roman goddess Roma on the reverse (back side). The coin's silver content and weight of 3.3 grams made it a valuable and widely used currency during its time. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
