Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Diocletianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 284 to 305 AD. This coin was specifically minted during the period known as the "Edict on Maximum Prices" (301-305 AD), which was a series of economic reforms implemented by Diocletian to address inflation and stabilize the Roman economy. The coin's design, featuring the goddess Abundantia on the reverse, was meant to symbolize the prosperity and abundance that the reforms were intended to bring to the empire.
