Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Diocletianus coin (CONCORDIA MILITVM) was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Diocletian, who introduced a new system of coinage to combat inflation and stabilize the Roman economy. This coin, in particular, was minted during the period known as the "Tetrarchy," when four co-emperors ruled the Roman Empire simultaneously. The coin's design features the image of Diocletian and his fellow co-emperor, Maximian, on the obverse, and the goddess Concordia on the reverse, symbolizing the unity and harmony of the four rulers.
