Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Constantinus I (VOT XXX; Heraclea) 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 goddess Hercules on the other. This coin was minted during Constantine's reign, which lasted from 306 to 337 AD, and was a significant period in Roman history, marked by the establishment of Christianity as the empire's dominant religion and the creation of a new capital city, Constantinople. The coin's design reflects the blending of Roman and Christian symbolism, which was a hallmark of Constantine's rule.
