Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Honorius (Constantinople) (404-406) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Honorius on one side and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Eastern Roman Empire, with barbarian invasions and political instability leading to a decline in the empire's power and influence. Despite these challenges, the Nummus coin remained a widely used form of currency throughout the empire, reflecting the ongoing importance of trade and commerce in the region.
