Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Dalmatius coin is that it features the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a trophy and the inscription "GLORIA EXERCITVS," which translates to "Glory of the Army." This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Dalmatius, who ruled from 335 to 337 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Nummus - Dalmatius coin is a significant artifact that provides insight into the economic, political, and military achievements of the Roman Empire during the 4th century AD.
