Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during a time of significant economic and military challenges for the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Concordia (CONCORDIA MILIT or CONCORDIA MILITVM) on the reverse, was meant to promote unity and harmony among the Roman people and military. Despite these efforts, the Roman Empire continued to face numerous challenges, including inflation, corruption, and external threats, ultimately leading to its decline and fall in the 5th century AD.
