Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valens coin is that it features the goddess Securitas, who is depicted standing on the reverse side of the coin, holding a scepter and a pileus, which is a symbol of liberty. This suggests that the coin was issued during a time when the Roman Empire was emphasizing the importance of security and liberty for its citizens. Additionally, the coin's minting location in Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia) suggests that it was circulated in the western part of the empire.
