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 idea of concordia, or harmony, between the Roman army and the civilian population. The coin features the goddess Concordia on the reverse, symbolizing the unity and cooperation that Aurelian sought to foster. This coin is particularly interesting because it highlights the importance of concordia in maintaining a strong and stable empire, a value that was central to Aurelian's reign.
