Interesting fact
The Denarius coin featuring Julia Domna, Caracalla, and Geta (AETERNIT IMPERI) was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The reign of Caracalla was marked by constant wars, political instability, and economic troubles, which led to a significant decrease in the value of the Roman currency. Despite these challenges, the coinage during this period continued to be minted with high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, as seen in the intricate designs and calligraphy on the coin's reverse side.
