Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Claudius II Gothicus (268-270 AD) was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that depicted the Roman emperors in a more realistic and humanizing way, rather than the traditional idealized portrayal. This was a departure from the usual depiction of emperors as god-like figures and was seen as a way to promote the idea of the emperor as a benevolent leader who was in touch with the people.
