Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Cornelia Salonina was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was actually decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
