Interesting fact
The Denarius - Septimius Severus coin features an image of the Roman goddess Indulgentia on one side, and the goddess Caelestis on the other. Indulgentia was a minor goddess who was associated with indulgence, pleasure, and excess, while Caelestis was a goddess of the sky and the heavens. This coin is unique because it features two different goddesses on each side, which was not a common practice in Roman coinage.
