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 was made of silver and had a distinctive design, featuring the emperor's portrait on one side and the goddess Victory on the other. The coin's name, "Antoninianus," was derived from the name of the emperor Antoninus Caracalla, who introduced the coin in 215 AD. The coin remained in circulation for over a century and was an important part of the Roman Empire's monetary system during that time.
