Comment
Thessalonica RIC 202Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two standards on its reverse side, which is a rare design element for Roman coins. The two standards represent the military standards of the Roman legions and symbolize the power and authority of the Roman Empire. This design was only used for a short period of time during the reign of Emperor Dalmatius, making it a unique and valuable addition to any coin collection.
