Interesting fact
The Sestertius coin features an image of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, on its reverse side. This is notable because Juno was an important deity in ancient Roman religion and was often depicted on coins during this time period. The inclusion of her image on this coin suggests that she was still held in high esteem during the reign of Volusianus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 251 to 253 AD.
