Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Follis - Gratianus coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting the personification of the Roman Republic, Securitas Rei Publicae, standing left, holding a scepter and a shield. This design was used during the reign of Emperor Gratian, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 375 to 383 AD. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the political and cultural values of the Roman Empire during this time period.
