Interesting fact
The Denarius coin , which features Septimius Severus, Caracalla, and Geta, is notable for its unique design. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the Roman Empire's personification, Aeternitas, who is shown holding a scepter and a globe, symbolizing the eternity and vastness of the Roman Empire. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of Roman emperors on coins and was meant to emphasize the idea of the empire's enduring power and influence.
