Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Trajan on one side and a portrait of Livineius Regulus on the other. This is significant because it highlights the importance of the Roman imperial system during this time period, where emperors were often depicted on coins as a symbol of their power and authority. Additionally, the inclusion of Regulus' portrait on the coin suggests that he was a prominent figure in Roman society and held a high level of influence.
