Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Postumus (SERAPI COMITI AVG) (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, with the title "SERAPI COMITI AVG" which means "Commander of the Army of the Serapi" in Latin. The reverse side features a stylized depiction of the Roman goddess Victory, holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing victory and peace. This blending of Roman and Gaulish motifs reflects the complex cultural and political dynamics of the Gallic Empire, which was a Roman splinter state that emerged in the 3rd century AD.
