Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Hercules on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the time of Licinius I's reign. This suggests that Hercules was a popular figure in Roman culture and mythology, and his association with strength and bravery made him a fitting symbol for the Roman Empire.
