Interesting fact
The Denarius - Septimius Severus (FELICITAS TEMPOR) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas on the reverse side, which is quite unique as most Roman coins of that time depicted gods or goddesses from Greek mythology. This suggests that the Roman Empire was beginning to embrace its own unique cultural and religious identity, distinct from the Greek influence that had dominated the empire for centuries.
