Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Denarius - Sabina coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), who was known for his extensive travels throughout the Roman Empire. The coin's design features a portrait of Sabina, Hadrian's wife, on the obverse (front side), and the goddess Pudicitia (modesty or chastity) on the reverse (back side). The inclusion of Pudicitia on the coin may suggest that Hadrian was promoting the value of modesty and virtue during his reign.
