Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Domitius Alexander (VICTORIA ALEXANDRI AVG N; Carthage) coin is that it was issued during a time of political upheaval in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the usurpation of Carthage by the Roman Emperor Domitius Alexander, who ruled from 308 to 311 AD. This period was marked by a series of power struggles and uprisings within the empire, and the coin's issuance may have been a way for Domitius Alexander to assert his authority and legitimacy as ruler. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin has survived for centuries and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
