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 features the traditional imagery and symbols of Roman power, such as the portrait of the emperor and the personification of Uberitas (Abundance) on the reverse. This coin is a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Roman Empire, even in the face of adversity.
