Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Gratianus coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Concordia on one side, which represents harmony and unity. This is significant because it highlights the importance of unity and cooperation during the reign of Emperor Gratian, who ruled during a time of political and military turmoil in the Roman Empire.
