Interesting fact

The Antoninianus coin featuring Trebonianus Gallus (251-253 AD) was part of a series of coins issued during the Roman Empire's "Crisis of the Third Century," a period marked by political instability, external threats, and economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the Roman Empire continued to issue coins that showcased its values and ideals, such as the CONCORDIA AVGG (Concordia) symbol on the reverse side of the coin, which represented the unity and harmony of the emperors and the Roman people.
