Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Gallienus and Juno on its obverse and reverse sides, respectively, was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. Specifically, it was issued during the "Crisis of the Third Century," a period of political instability, external threats, and economic disruption that lasted from 235 to 284 AD. Despite these challenges, the Roman Empire continued to produce coins like the Antoninianus, which remained an important symbol of the empire's power and influence.
