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 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 Libertas, the goddess of freedom, on its reverse side, highlighting the importance of liberty and freedom in Roman culture.
