Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Valentinianus I coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Securitas, who represents security and stability, on its reverse side. This is fitting, given that the coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the Roman Empire, and the image of Securitas may have been intended to convey a sense of reassurance and continuity to the people.
