Interesting fact
The Denarius coin featuring Julia Domna, Caracalla, and Geta is notable for its unique design, which includes the portraits of three individuals on a single coin. This was a departure from the traditional Roman coinage design that typically featured a single portrait of the emperor. The inclusion of Julia Domna, the empress, and Geta, the son of Caracalla, was a nod to the importance of family and succession in Roman imperial politics.
