Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Tranquillitas, which means "tranquility" or "peace," on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, which was a rare occurrence during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD).
