Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) to celebrate the restoration of the Roman Empire after a period of civil war and external threats. The coin's design features the image of Aurelian on one side and the goddess Roma on the other, symbolizing the empire's renewal and the unity of Rome. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the empire's increased wealth and prosperity during Aurelian's reign.
