Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Crispus (VICTORIA CAESS NN; Siscia) coin is that it features the image of Emperor Crispus, who was a prominent military leader and a member of the Constantinian dynasty, which ruled the Roman Empire during the 4th century AD. Despite his achievements, Crispus' reign was cut short when he was executed by his own father, Emperor Constantine I, in 326 AD, allegedly due to his involvement in a plot against his father. This coin, minted in 319 AD, provides a glimpse into the complex and often tumultuous politics of the Roman Empire during that time.
