Interesting fact
The Denarius - Julia Domna (FELICITAS TEMPOR) coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus (193-211 AD), and it features an image of his wife, Julia Domna, on the obverse (front side). Julia Domna was a powerful and influential empress who played a significant role in Roman politics during her husband's reign. She was known for her intelligence, beauty, and her support for the arts and literature. The coin's reverse (back side) features the goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck or happiness, which was an appropriate symbol for a coin meant to circulate during a time of relative peace and prosperity under the Severan dynasty.
