Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Liberalitas, who represents liberality, generosity, and freedom. The inclusion of this image on the coin may suggest that the Roman Empire was promoting these values during the reign of Emperor Geta, who ruled from 203 to 208 AD.
