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 restoration of the Roman Empire's territories in Gaul and Germany. The coin's inscription, "RESTIT ILLVRICI," translates to "Restored Illyricum," referring to the Roman province of Illyricum, which had been lost to barbarian invasions and was later reconquered by Probus. This coin is a testament to the Roman Empire's efforts to reclaim and strengthen its territories during a time of political and military instability.
