Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Honorius (CONCORDI-A AVGG; Cyzicus) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Honorius on one side and the goddess Concordia on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political and economic instability in the Eastern Roman Empire, and the image of Concordia was likely included to promote the idea of unity and harmony within the empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the culture and politics of the time.
