Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Licinius I (VICTORIA AVGG NN; Thessalonica) (319) coin is that it features the image of the Roman Emperor Licinius I on one side, and the goddess Victoria on the other. This coin was minted during Licinius' reign from 308 to 324 AD and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, this coin is considered rare and highly valuable among collectors today.
