Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Julianus II (FEL TEMP-REPARATIO; Siscia) coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Julian II on one side and the goddess Felicitas on the other. Felicitas, whose name means "good luck" or "happiness" in Latin, was a popular deity during the Roman Empire and was often depicted on coins as a way of expressing the hope for good fortune and prosperity. The inclusion of Felicitas on this coin may suggest that the Roman Empire was seeking to promote a sense of optimism and prosperity during the reign of Julian II.
