Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who introduced a new system of coinage to combat inflation and stabilize the Roman economy. The coin features the image of the Roman goddess Liberalitas, symbolizing the free distribution of food and other essential goods to the citizens of Rome. This coin is particularly interesting because it highlights the importance of economic reforms during the late Roman Empire and how they impacted the lives of everyday people.
