Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck and prosperity, on the reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, and that the emperor Septimius Severus was seeking to promote a sense of stability and well-being among his subjects.
