Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dupondius or As - Sabina coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on one side, which symbolizes harmony and unity. This is significant because it suggests that the Roman Empire valued these qualities and wanted to promote them through their currency. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, suggests that it was intended for widespread use among the general population, further highlighting the importance of concordia in Roman society.
