Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin, which was issued during the reign of Gallienus (260-268 AD), was the first Roman coin to feature the image of a Roman emperor wearing a beard. This was a departure from the traditional clean-shaven image of Roman emperors and signified a shift in the cultural and political landscape of the Roman Empire.
