Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Quietus (INDVLGENTIAE AVG) was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, specifically during the Usurpations of Eastern provinces. Despite the political instability, the coin's design remained consistent with the standard circulation coinage of the time, featuring the emperor's image on one side and the goddess Indulgentia on the other. This coin is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this period, providing valuable insight into the economic and political climate of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD.
