Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Constans I, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, Constans I was assassinated in 354 AD, and his legacy was largely forgotten until the discovery of this coin and other artifacts from his reign. Today, coins like this Nummus are valuable not only for their monetary worth, but also for the insights they provide into the history and culture of ancient civilizations.
