Interesting fact

The Hemiassarion coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and features an image of the emperor on one side and the goddess Tyche on the other. The coin was used in the city of Palaeobeudus, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the Roman Empire. The coin's bronze composition and relatively low weight suggest that it was used for everyday transactions, rather than being a high-value coin. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
