Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinian II (SALVS REIPVBLICAE; Cyzicus) coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Valentinian II, who was only a child when he ascended to the throne, and his reign was marked by political instability and power struggles between various factions of the Roman Empire. Despite this, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Nummus, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire.
