Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Severus Alexander (AETERNITATIBVS) coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts the Roman goddess Salus (health) standing left, holding a snake and a patera (a shallow dish used for ritual offerings). This design was meant to symbolize the emperor's role as a protector of the people's health and well-being.
