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 an image of the goddess Securitas (Security) on the reverse, which was a common motif during this period, symbolizing the stability and security that the Roman Empire aimed to provide to its citizens.
