Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Julianus II (VOT X MVLT XX; Siscia) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Julian II on one side and the goddess Victory on the other, symbolizing the emperor's efforts to restore paganism as the dominant religion of the empire. Despite this, the coin was still issued during a time of religious upheaval and political instability, reflecting the complex and changing religious landscape of the Roman Empire during the 4th century.
