Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Denarius coin features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas, symbolizing freedom, on its reverse side. This is interesting because it highlights the importance of individual liberty and the idea of Rome as a bastion of freedom, which were core values of the Roman Empire during that time.
