Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Probus (276-282 AD) and the inscription "CONCORD MILIT," is notable for its unique design. It depicts the Roman goddess of concord, Concordia, standing between two military officers, symbolizing the unity and harmony between the military and civilian populations. This design was a departure from the traditional imagery found on Roman coins, which often featured gods and goddesses, emperors, and other symbols of power and authority. The inclusion of Concordia on the coin highlights the importance of unity and cooperation during Probus' reign, and serves as a reminder of the value placed on peace and harmony in Roman society.
