Coin of Hadrianeia under Severus Alexander c. 3th century

Editor: This is a coin from Hadrianeia under Severus Alexander. It's small and weathered, yet holds a portrait and an image, maybe of a bull? What do you see when you look at this small window into the past? Curator: Oh, this little treasure! For me, it whispers stories of empires, trade, and human connection. I find myself wondering, what hands did this pass through? Was it clutched in the palm of a merchant or perhaps a soldier? Editor: It's amazing to think about its journey. Curator: Absolutely! And in some ways, aren't we all just tiny coins, circulating in the grand economy of time? Editor: Wow, I'll definitely think about that the next time I get change.
