Interesting fact
The Nummus - Constantius II (VOT XX MVLT XXX; Cyzicus) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on its reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the 4th century AD. The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military prowess and its ability to conquer and dominate other nations. The use of Victory on coins was also seen as a way to promote the idea of Roman supremacy and to reinforce the notion that the Roman Empire was the greatest power in the world.
