Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the Roman emperors Geta and Caracalla, who ruled together from 209 to 210 AD. The coin's design includes an image of the two emperors standing together, with their heads turned towards each other in a symbol of unity. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the theme of concordia, or harmony, which was an important ideal in Roman culture.
