Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Milariensis - Crispus coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck and prosperity, on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was seeking to promote peace and prosperity throughout its territories. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively small weight suggest that it was a widely circulating denomination, used for everyday transactions and commerce.
