Interesting fact
The Quinarius - Julia Paula coin features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which represents harmony and unity. This symbolism was particularly significant during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who issued the coin, as he sought to promote unity and stability throughout the empire.
