Interesting fact
The Denarius - Julia Maesa (IVNO; Juno) coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Elagabalus, who was known for his controversial and unconventional reign. Elagabalus was a member of the Severan dynasty and was known for his extreme religious views and his efforts to introduce Eastern religious practices to Rome. The coin's design, which features Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, on the reverse, may have been a nod to Elagabalus' efforts to promote the cult of the Roman goddess Cybele, which was associated with fertility and the protection of the state. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
