Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a festival (Festo) on the other. This suggests that the coin may have been issued to commemorate a specific event or celebration during Augustus' reign. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Celsa (Tarraconensis), a city in the Roman province of Hispania, highlights the extent of the Roman Empire's reach and influence at the time.
