Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Quintillus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was gradually decreased during this period, and by the late 3rd century AD, it was mostly made of bronze. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used throughout the empire. This fact highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Roman economy during a period of significant turmoil.
