Interesting fact
The Dupondius - Julia Domna coin features an image of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and prosperity, on its reverse side. This is fitting, as the coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who was known for his efforts to restore prosperity and stability to the Roman Empire after a period of turmoil. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the empire's renewed focus on good fortune and prosperity under Severus' rule.
