Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Carinus as Caesar (PIETAS AVGG) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 282-283 AD, during the reign of Emperor Carus, who was known for his military campaigns against the Persians. However, Carus died suddenly in 283 AD, and his sons, Carinus and Numerian, were left to succeed him. This led to a period of political instability, as the two brothers struggled for power and control over the empire. Despite this, the coinage continued to be minted, and the Antoninianus featuring Carinus as Caesar remains a valuable and interesting artifact from this time period.
