Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Gallienus (Diana) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the Crisis of the Third Century. This period saw a series of civil wars, corruption, and external invasions that threatened the empire's stability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this era, including the Antoninianus, continued to be produced and circulated widely, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Roman economy.
