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 was minted in 251-253 AD, during the reign of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus, who ruled the empire alongside his co-emperor, Hostilian. However, their rule was cut short when they were both killed by their own soldiers in 253 AD, due to their inability to address the empire's economic and military challenges. Despite this tumultuous period in Roman history, the coin remains a valuable piece for collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the political and economic climate of the time.
