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 Felicitas, the Roman goddess of good luck and prosperity, reflecting the hope and resilience of the Roman people during this difficult time.
