Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which was issued during the reign of Trajan Decius (249-251 AD), features an image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene in Greek) on its reverse side. Pax was the goddess of peace, and her image on the coin was meant to symbolize the peaceful reign of Decius and the Roman Empire at that time. This coin is considered a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians today, as it provides a glimpse into the cultural and political climate of the Roman Empire during the 3rd century AD.
