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 on the coin highlights her importance in Roman history and marks a significant departure from previous empresses, who were often relegated to minor roles in coinage and other forms of imperial propaganda.
