Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Florianus coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 276 AD, during the reign of Emperor Florianus, who was known for his attempts to reform the Roman economy and military. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to face challenges, including inflation, corruption, and external threats. The coin's design, which features an image of Florianus and the goddess Concordia, symbolizes the emperor's efforts to promote unity and stability within the empire.
