Interesting fact
The Denarius - Septimius Severus (FELICIT TEMPOR) (194-195) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck and prosperity, on its reverse side. This is fitting, as the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. This period of peace and stability lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD and saw significant economic growth and cultural achievements throughout the empire.
