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 symbolism was particularly significant during the reign of Emperor Gratian, who ruled during a time of political and military turmoil, and sought to promote unity and stability throughout the empire.
