Interesting fact
The Denarius - Julia Paula (IVNO CONSERVATRIX; Juno) (219-220) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Juno on the reverse side, which is unusual for a Roman coin, as most coins of that time depicted male gods or emperors. This suggests that Julia Paula, the woman depicted on the obverse side, may have had a significant connection to the goddess Juno or was associated with feminine virtues.
