Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD) to promote the ideals of concordia, or harmony, within the Roman Empire. The coin features an image of the goddess Concordia on the reverse, symbolizing the unity and cooperation that Probus sought to foster among the Roman people. Despite the coin's focus on promoting unity, it was actually issued during a time of great turmoil and upheaval within the empire, with Probus facing numerous challenges including civil wars, barbarian invasions, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring spirit of Roman resilience and determination.
