Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) to promote the ideals of concordia, or harmony, within the Roman Empire. The coin features an image of the goddess Concordia on the reverse side, symbolizing the unity and stability of the empire. This coin is particularly interesting because it was issued during a time of significant political and economic upheaval in the Roman Empire, and its message of concordia was an attempt to promote unity and stability in the face of these challenges.
