Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Concordia on the reverse, was meant to promote the idea of unity and harmony within the empire. Despite this, the coin's minting was likely a response to the economic pressures of the time, as the Roman Empire was facing inflation and debasement of its currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the challenges faced by the Roman Empire during this period.
