Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin featuring Quintus Julius Gallienus is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. Gallienus was emperor during the Crisis of the Third Century, a period of political instability, external threats, and economic disruption that lasted from 235 to 284 AD. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this period, including the Antoninianus, continued to be minted and used throughout the empire, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Roman economy.
