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 Roman Empire's military victories and to promote the idea of security and stability under his rule. The coin's obverse features the image of Probus himself, while the reverse features the personification of Securitas, or Security, holding a scepter and a shield. The use of the Latin word "SECVRITAS ORBIS" (Security of the World) on the coin emphasizes the idea that the Roman Empire was responsible for maintaining peace and security throughout its territories.
