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 of the Tetrarchy, a system of government where four co-emperors ruled the empire simultaneously. The coin's design features the image of Diocletian on one side and the goddess Pax (Peace) on the other, symbolizing the emperor's efforts to bring peace and stability to the empire after a period of civil wars and political instability.
