Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Florianus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 276 to 277 AD. Despite his short reign, Florianus made significant changes to the Roman currency, including the introduction of the Antoninianus, a new silver coin that was meant to replace the denarius as the standard currency. The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was one of the first coins to feature the image of the emperor on one side and the goddess Roma on the other, which became a common design feature on Roman coins for centuries to come.
