Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin featuring Trebonianus Gallus is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 251 and 253 AD, a period known as the Crisis of the Third Century, when the empire was facing numerous challenges, including invasions, civil wars, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coin still bears the image of the Roman goddess Concordia, symbolizing the idea of unity and harmony, highlighting the importance of these values during a time of great uncertainty.
