Interesting fact

The inscription "SOLI INVICTO COMITI" means "to the invincible sun" in Latin, highlighting the significance of this deity in Roman culture. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Constantinus I, also known as Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD and was known for his military conquests and religious reforms.
