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 issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Diocletian's reign, and it features the image of the Roman goddess Concordia (Harmony) on the reverse side, which was a common motif during his reign. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of unity and stability within the empire, which was a key focus of Diocletian's rule.
