Interesting fact

The Antoninianus coin featuring Gallienus and the goddess Concordia is notable for its depiction of the Roman Empire's first empress, Salonina, on the reverse side. She was the wife of Gallienus and played an important role in his reign, even accompanying him on military campaigns. Her presence on the coin highlights the significant influence she had during her time as empress.
