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 goddess Pax (Peace) on the reverse, which was a symbol of the emperor's efforts to bring peace and stability to the empire after a period of civil wars and external threats. The use of silver in the coin's composition also signified the value and importance of the coin in the Roman economy.
