Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that features a depiction of the Roman goddess of luck, Fortuna, on its reverse side. This is unusual because most Roman coins from this time period featured images of the emperors or other deities. The inclusion of Fortuna on this coin may suggest that the emperor Maximianus, who ruled Rome from 286 to 305 AD, was particularly interested in promoting the idea of good fortune and prosperity during his reign.
