Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin with the inscription "CONCORDIA MILITVM" is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Tacitus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 275 to 276 AD. Despite his short reign, Tacitus made significant reforms to the Roman military, including increasing the soldiers' pay and improving their equipment. The coin's inscription, which translates to "harmony of the soldiers," may reflect this focus on military reform and the importance of unity among the Roman military forces during this time.
