Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the goddess Aequitas (Iustitia on the reverse), which represents justice and equality, and Moneta, the goddess of money and coinage, on the obverse. This symbolizes the importance of fairness and equity in financial transactions during the Roman Empire.
