Interesting fact
The Denarius - Septimius Severus (INVICTO IMP) (193) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas on the reverse side, which is unusual for a coin issued during the reign of Septimius Severus. This is because Libertas was not a commonly depicted goddess on Roman coins during this time period, and her appearance on this coin may suggest that the mint was experimenting with new designs or symbolism.
