Interesting fact
The Siliqua - Valentinianus I coin features an image of the Roman emperor Valentinianus I on one side and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. The coin was minted in Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon, France) during Valentinianus' reign from 364 to 367 AD. The coin's design and the fact that it was minted in a city that was an important center of trade and commerce during the Roman Empire highlight the extent to which Roman culture and influence spread throughout Europe during this time period.
