Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Siliqua - Flavius Victor coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Flavius Victor on one side, and the goddess Victoria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political and military turmoil in the Roman Empire, and the image of Victoria was likely intended to symbolize the empire's strength and resilience. Despite being made of silver, this coin is relatively small, weighing only 1.46 grams, making it a unique and rare artifact from ancient Rome.
