Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Postumus (CONCORD EQVIT) (267) coin from the Gallic Empire is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Gaulish elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Postumus, the ruler of the Gallic Empire, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony and unity. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Gallic Empire, which was a Roman splinter state that emerged in the 3rd century AD and existed for over a century before being reabsorbed into the Roman Empire.
