Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Trebonianus Gallus (PAX AVGG; Pax) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's minting period, 251-253 AD, coincided with a series of civil wars, corruption, and external threats that weakened the empire's stability. Despite these challenges, the coin's design and message of "Pax" or "peace" suggest that the Roman Empire was still striving to maintain its authority and promote a sense of unity and harmony within its territories.
