Interesting fact
The Denarius - Septimius Severus coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 193 to 211 AD. This coin was one of the most widely circulated coins during his reign and features an image of the goddess Moneta on the reverse side, which is where the name "Moneta" in the inscription comes from.
