Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remained an important symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence, and its design featuring the emperors Maximianus and Antoninianus, as well as the goddess Victoria, reflects the empire's cultural and religious values.
