Interesting fact
The Denarius coin featuring Julia Domna and Caracalla is notable for its unique design, as it depicts the empress Julia Domna on the obverse (front side) and the emperor Caracalla on the reverse (back side). This was a departure from the traditional design of Roman coins, which typically featured the emperor alone on both sides. This coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that features a woman on one side and a man on the other.
