Interesting fact

The Antoninianus - Probus coin features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, which represents good luck or happiness, on its reverse side. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's economy and military after a period of turmoil. The use of Felicitas on the coin may have been a symbol of the emperor's efforts to bring prosperity and happiness back to the empire.
