Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's inscription, "FELICIT PERP," which means "eternal happiness," was a propaganda message aimed at promoting the idea that the Roman Empire was a place of prosperity and stability, even though this was not always the case. Despite the challenges faced by the empire during this period, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Rome.
