Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Trebonianus Gallus and Juno on its reverse side, is notable for its rare depiction of the Roman goddess Juno holding a shield and spear. This militaristic representation of Juno was a departure from her traditional depiction as a maternal figure, and may have been intended to emphasize the emperor's role as a military leader and protector of the empire.
