Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Julia Domna (AEQVITAS II; Aequitas) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Aequitas, who represents fairness and equality, on its reverse side. This is fitting, given that the coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who was known for his efforts to promote justice and equality throughout the empire.
