Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Licinius (GENIO POP ROM) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom and liberty, on its reverse side. This is significant because it highlights the importance of individual freedom and the idea of the Roman people being free from tyranny, which was a core value of the Roman Empire during the time of Licinius' reign.
