Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Egnatia Mariniana (CONSECRATIO) was issued during the reign of Emperor Valerian (253-260 AD) and his son Gallienus (253-268 AD). It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the Crisis of the Third Century, which lasted from 235 to 284 AD. Despite the challenges faced by the empire during this period, the production of coins like the Antoninianus continued, serving as a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Roman economy.
