Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Arcadius (CONCORDIA; Constantinopolis) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on one side, which symbolizes unity and harmony, while on the other side it has an image of Emperor Arcadius, who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 395 to 408 AD. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the Roman Empire, as it was transitioning from a dominant western empire to a divided eastern and western empire. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and message of unity and harmony reflect the values that the Roman Empire aimed to uphold.
