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. These coins were designed to celebrate the Roman army's victories and were minted in large quantities to help finance the military campaigns. The coin features an image of the Roman goddess Victory on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during this period.
