Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Constantinus I (Nicomedia) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, on one side, and a depiction of the Roman goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Constantine's reign, which lasted from 337 to 340 AD, and was a significant period in Roman history, marked by the establishment of Christianity as the empire's dominant religion and the transfer of the capital from Rome to Constantinople.
