Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas on its reverse side. Felicitas was the goddess of good luck, prosperity, and happiness, and her image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of a prosperous and happy reign under Emperor Probus. This coin was minted during a time of significant economic and military challenges for the Roman Empire, and the image of Felicitas may have been a way to promote a sense of optimism and positivity among the population.
