Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinianus II (VOT XX MVLT XXX; Antioch) coin is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts the Roman Emperor Valentinianus II, while on the other side, it features the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the Roman Empire's military victories. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of the Roman Empire during the late 4th century.
