Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Carus (CONSECRATIO) coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Carus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 282 to 283 AD. It's interesting to note that Carus was the first Roman Emperor to be born outside of Italy, in the province of Narbonne, modern-day France. This coin is a testament to the diverse backgrounds of the Roman Empire's rulers and the far-reaching influence of Roman culture during that time.
