Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Constantius I and the inscription "TEMPOR FELICIT" ("Happy Times") on one side and the Genius of the Roman people on the other, was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 295-294 AD, a period known as the "Crisis of the Third Century," when the empire was facing numerous challenges, including invasions, civil wars, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this period, including the Antoninianus, continued to be minted in large quantities and remained an important symbol of Roman power and influence.
