Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Quintillus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin still features the image of the Roman goddess Fides (Fidelity) on the reverse side, symbolizing the empire's commitment to upholding its values and principles.
