Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin still features the symbol of Victory (VICTORIA AVG) on the reverse side, highlighting the Roman Empire's continued emphasis on military conquest and dominance.
