Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus (CONSERVATOR AVGG) coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Maximian (286-305 AD) and was used to promote the ideology of the "Tetrarchy," a system of government where four co-emperors ruled the Roman Empire simultaneously. This coin features Maximian's image on one side and his fellow emperor, Diocletian, on the other, symbolizing their shared power and unity.
