Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Julia Domna, the wife of Emperor Septimius Severus, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the inscription "PIETAS AVGG" which means "Piety of the Emperors" in Latin. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was transitioning from a republic to an empire, and it reflects the growing influence of the imperial family on the coinage of the time.
