Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Quintillus coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on one side, which symbolizes unity and harmony, while the other side bears the image of the emperor Quintillus. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire, and the image of Concordia may have been a symbol of the desire for peace and unity during that period.
