Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that features a female personification of the Roman Empire, known as Felicitas, on its reverse side. Felicitas was the goddess of good luck, prosperity, and happiness, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the Roman Empire was a place of prosperity and good fortune under the rule of the Emperor Maximianus. This coin is a unique representation of the cultural and religious values of the Roman Empire during that time period.
