Interesting fact
The Denarius - Julia Domna (IVNO CONSERVATRIX; Juno) 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 sciences. The coin's reverse (back side) features an image of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, which was a common motif on Roman coins during this period. The coin's silver content and weight of 3 grams also make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
