This image depicts two sides of an ancient Roman coin.

  • Left side (obverse): It shows a seated figure, possibly a personification of "PIETAS" (piety or dutifulness), as the word is inscribed at the bottom. Surrounding the figure is text in Latin, which may identify the issuer or the ruler at the time. The figure is seated on a throne and holds something, possibly symbolic, though the details are worn due to age.

  • Right side (reverse): This side depicts a structure resembling a temple with columns, and within the structure, there are smaller figures which appear to be interacting or performing an act, though the specifics are indistinct. Text is also visible, likely describing the scene or naming the temple or associated deity.

The coin shows signs of age, such as corrosion and wear, and appears to be made of bronze or copper due to its reddish-brown patina. On the far right is a scale in centimeters for size reference.
