Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman god Jupiter on one side, and the emperor Licinius II on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was transitioning from a pagan to a Christian society, and the inclusion of Jupiter's image reflects the ongoing influence of traditional Roman religions during this period.
