Interesting fact

The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin still features the symbol of CONCORDIA MILIT or CONCORDIA MILITVM, which represents the unity and harmony of the military, highlighting the importance of military power in maintaining the empire's stability and prosperity.
