Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus (VOTIS X) coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was debased, meaning that it contained less silver than previous coins, which led to inflation and economic instability. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation for a significant period, indicating the resilience and adaptability of the Roman economy during this time.
