Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and agricultural reforms. The coin's design features the goddess Securitas (Security) on the reverse, which was a common motif during Probus' reign. The use of Securitas on the coinage was meant to promote the idea of security and stability under Probus' rule, and to reassure the public that the empire was strong and secure.
