Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin was introduced by the Roman Emperor Philip I (also known as Philippus I) in 244 AD, and it was the first coin to feature the image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on one side, and the emperor's portrait on the other. This coin was significant because it marked a departure from the traditional Roman coinage design, which had previously featured images of gods and goddesses, and it was the first time that a Roman emperor had included his own image on a coin. This change in design was seen as a way for Philip I to promote his own image and legitimacy as emperor, and it set a precedent for future Roman emperors to do the same.
