Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 284 to 305 AD. This series of coins was known as the "Argentei" or "Silver Coins," and it was introduced to replace the previous bronze coinage. The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was made of silver and had a higher denomination than the other coins in the series, which made it a valuable and prestigious coin at the time.
