Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Diocletianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Diocletian, who was one of the four rulers of the Tetrarchy, a system of government where four co-emperors ruled the Roman Empire simultaneously. This coin was issued during the period of economic reform known as the "Edict on Maximum Prices," which was implemented by Diocletian in 301 AD to combat inflation and stabilize the economy. The coin's design features the goddess Abundantia, who represents prosperity and abundance, which aligns with the reform's goal of promoting economic prosperity.
