One interesting fact about the Follis - Valens coin is that it features the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side features the goddess Rome, seated on a throne, holding a spear and a shield. This design was a common motif on Roman coins during this period, symbolizing the power and authority of the Roman Empire.
