Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Aeternitas (Eternity) on the reverse, was meant to convey the idea of eternal stability and continuity, despite the challenges faced by the empire at the time.
