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 reflects his connection to this region. The PANNONIAE mint mark on the coin indicates that it was produced in the Pannonia region, and the image on the coin may represent the emperor's connection to this region. This coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that was produced outside of Italy and offers a unique insight into the decentralization of power and influence within the Roman Empire during this time period.
