Interesting fact
The Miliarense coin , which features Constantius II and was minted in Nicomedia (modern-day İzmit, Turkey) between 351-355 AD, is an example of a coin that was used to pay soldiers and civil servants during the Roman Empire. The coin's name, "Miliarense," comes from the Latin word "miliaris," meaning "soldier," and was used to denote its value, which was equivalent to 1/1000th of a Roman pound. This coin was made of silver and weighed 4.54 grams, making it a relatively small but valuable coin for its time.
