Interesting fact
The Denarius - Julia Domna (IVNO; Juno) coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus (193-211 AD), who was known for his extensive reforms and military campaigns. One of his reforms was to introduce a new currency system, which included the Denarius coin, which was made of silver and became the standard currency of the Roman Empire. The coin features Julia Domna, the wife of Septimius Severus, on the obverse (front side), and Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, on the reverse (back side). This coin is significant not only for its historical value but also for its artistic and cultural significance, showcasing the craftsmanship and design of Roman coinage during that time.
