Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Egnatia Mariniana was issued during the reign of Emperor Claudius Gothicus (268-270 AD), who was known for his military campaigns against the Goths and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's economy and military strength. The coin's design, which includes an image of Egnatia Mariniana on the reverse, suggests that she may have been a prominent figure in Roman society during this time period.
