Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Pompey the Younger, who was a prominent Roman general and politician, on one side, and an image of M. Publicius, a moneyer, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in Rome, just before the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar.
