Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin was issued during the reign of Trajan Decius, who was the first Roman emperor to be born in the provinces outside of Italy. He was born in Pannonia, which is now modern-day Hungary, and his coinage reforms had a significant impact on the Roman Empire's economy. The Antoninianus was a new denomination introduced by Decius, and it was intended to replace the previous denomination, the denarius, which had become devalued due to inflation. The Antoninianus was made of silver and had a higher value than the denarius, and it was used to pay soldiers and civil servants. The coin's design featured the image of the emperor and various gods and goddesses, and it was minted in several provinces across the empire, including Pannonia.
