Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Quintus Titius, a Roman politician and military leader, on one side, and a depiction of Liber, the Roman god of freedom, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political and social upheaval in Rome, and the image of Liber was seen as a symbol of the struggle for freedom and democracy.
