The Denarius - Sabina (Concordia) coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and features the image of Sabina, the empress, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the goddess Concordia, who represents harmony and unity. This coin was minted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hadrian's reign and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire. It's worth noting that the coin's design and inscriptions reflect the values and ideals of the Roman Empire during that time, such as the importance of concordia (harmony) and the celebration of significant anniversaries. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver and weighs 3.2 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination and had a high value in the Roman economy.
