Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Denarius - Sabina coin features an image of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, on the reverse side. This is significant because Juno was considered an important deity in ancient Roman culture, and her association with marriage and childbirth made her a popular figure among Roman women. The inclusion of her image on the coin highlights the importance of women and family in Roman society during this time period.
