Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Cornelia Salonina was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the "Crisis of the Third Century." This period saw a succession of weak and short-lived emperors, civil wars, and external invasions, which led to a significant decline in the empire's power and influence. Despite these challenges, the production of coins like the Antoninianus continued, serving as a symbol of the empire's resilience and enduring legacy.
