Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Quintillus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's minting was a attempt to address the inflation and currency devaluation that was occurring during this period. Despite these efforts, the coin's value still fluctuated greatly and it was eventually replaced by other coinage. This coin is a reminder of the challenges and complexities of managing economic systems, even in ancient times.
