Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was used during the Roman Empire and was made of silver. It was first introduced during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD) and remained in circulation until the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD). The Denarius was an important coin because it was used to pay soldiers, civil servants, and taxes. It was also used for trade and commerce throughout the empire. The design of the Denarius coin changed over time, but it typically featured an image of the emperor on one side and a goddess or other symbol on the other. The coin , the Denarius - Philippus I (SECVRIT ORBIS; Securitas) (244-247), features an image of Emperor Philip I (also known as Philippus I) on one side and the goddess Securitas (meaning "security" or "safety") on the other.
