Interesting fact

The Antoninianus - Probus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD) to celebrate the Roman Empire's military victories and to promote unity and concord among the soldiers. The coin's obverse features the image of Probus, while the reverse features the personification of Concordia Militum, or Military Concord, with the legend "CONCORD MILIT" (Concord of the Soldiers). This coin is significant because it highlights the importance of military unity and cooperation during a time of external threats and internal strife within the Roman Empire.
