Interesting fact
The Siliqua - Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Rome) (347) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents happiness and good fortune, on its reverse side. This is fitting, as the name "Felicitas" is derived from the Latin word "felix," meaning "happy" or "lucky." The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been a way for Constantius II to promote the idea of happiness and prosperity during his reign.
