Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Quietus (IOVI CONSERVATORI; Antioch) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, specifically during the Usurpations of Eastern provinces. Despite the political instability, the coin still bears the image of the Roman god Jupiter on the obverse, indicating the continued importance of Roman mythology and religion during this period.
