Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Roma on the obverse (front side), which was a common motif on Roman coins during this time period. The reverse (back side) of the coin bears the image of a shield and spear, symbolizing the military prowess of the Roman Empire. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximianus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 286 to 305 AD, and was likely used in everyday transactions throughout the empire.
