Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Vetranio coin is that it features the goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which represents the unity and harmony of the Roman military. This symbolism was particularly significant during the reign of Emperor Constantius II, who issued the coin, as he sought to promote unity and stability throughout the empire.
