Interesting fact
The Follis coinage was the first Roman coinage to feature a Christian symbol, the Chi-Rho monogram, which was introduced by Emperor Constantine the Great in the early 4th century. This symbol, which combines the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ (Chi and Rho), was used on the coins of Constantius II and other Roman emperors of the period, and it represents the growing influence of Christianity during this time.
