Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Claudius II Gothicus (FELICITAS AVG; Felicitas) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. Claudius II, also known as Claudius Gothicus, was a military leader who became emperor in 268 AD after the death of his predecessor, Gallienus. He was known for his victories against the Goths, which is reflected in the coin's design, and his efforts to restore stability to the empire after a period of civil war and external threats. Despite his achievements, Claudius II's reign was cut short by his untimely death in 270 AD, at the age of 56.
