Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Concordia on one side, which represents harmony and unity among the Roman military. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of military expansion and conquest, and that the Roman Empire was seeking to promote a sense of unity and cooperation among its soldiers. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, suggests that it was intended for widespread circulation and use among the general population, rather than being a rare or commemorative coin.
