Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Sestertius - Postumus (LAETITIA AVG; Treveri) coin is that it features the image of Laetitia, the Roman goddess of happiness and prosperity, on one side, and the emperor Postumus on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political instability in the Roman Empire, and the use of Laetitia's image may have been a way to promote a sense of stability and prosperity during a tumultuous period.
