The Dupondius or As - Sabina (PVDICITIA; Pudicitia) coin from the Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze is interesting because it features an image of the goddess Pudicitia, who represents modesty and chastity, on one side, while the other side bears the image of an eagle, which symbolizes power and strength. This coin was circulated during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), who was known for his extensive travels and military campaigns, and it is believed that the image of Pudicitia was included on the coin as a representation of the virtues that the Roman people valued during that time.
