Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantinus I (POP ROMANVS; Constantinopolis) (330) coin was part of a large-scale currency reform implemented by Emperor Constantine the Great in 306 AD, which introduced a new system of coinage that would be used throughout the Roman Empire for centuries to come. This coin, made of bronze and weighing 1.1g, was one of the smallest denominations in the new system and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small size, the coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce across the vast empire.
