Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Gallienus and the goddess Concordia is notable for its depiction of the Roman Empire's first empress, Salonina. She was the wife of Gallienus and played a significant role in his reign, even accompanying him on military campaigns. Her image appears on the coin's reverse side, signifying her importance in Roman society and politics during that time.
