http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.9.cyz.14A.2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Gratian, who was only 16 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him one of the youngest emperors in Roman history. Despite his young age, Gratian's reign was marked by significant military victories and reforms, including the establishment of a new civil calendar and the restoration of the Roman Senate's power.
