Comment
Formerly attributed to Mediolanum.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Claudius II Gothicus, who was known for his military campaigns against the Goths and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's power and prestige. The coin's design, which features an image of Claudius II on one side and a depiction of the goddess Consecratio on the other, reflects the emperor's efforts to promote his military victories and his role as a divine ruler. Despite being made of a relatively low-value metal, the Antoninianus coin was an important symbol of Roman power and influence during its time.
