Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Securitas (Security) on the reverse, was meant to reassure the public of the empire's stability and security, despite the challenges it was facing. Despite its silver content, the coin was not widely accepted or used in trade, and its value was largely symbolic.
