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 emperor Florianus on one side and the goddess Uberitas on the other, reflects the empire's attempts to promote unity and stability during this period. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to decline, and the coin's value depreciated significantly over time. Today, the Antoninianus - Florianus coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the economic and political history of the Roman Empire.
