Interesting fact
The Victoriatus coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Rome, known as the Second Punic War (218-201 BC). Despite the war effort, the Roman government continued to mint coins, which suggests that the economy and trade were still functioning to some extent. The Victoriatus coin, in particular, was minted in the years 211-208 BC, which was a time of great scarcity and inflation in Rome. The coin's design, which features a goddess (likely Luceria) on one side and a warrior on the other, may have been meant to symbolize the Roman people's resilience and determination during this difficult period.
