Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Hadrian (GERMANIA; Germania) coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts the personification of Germania, a province of the Roman Empire, as a woman standing left, holding a shield and a spear, with a wild boar at her feet. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the Roman Empire and its ability to conquer and bring order to the provinces under its rule.
