Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Florianus (276 AD), who was the last emperor of the Roman Empire before its division into two parts: the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. This coin was minted in Siscia, which is now modern-day Sisak, Croatia. The coin's design features the goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck or happiness, and the Latin inscription "FELICITAS AVG" means "Good Luck of the Emperor." This coin is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians, as it provides insight into the economic and political state of the Roman Empire during that time period.
