Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Valerianus coin was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the Crisis of the Third Century. This period saw a series of civil wars, corruption, and external invasions that threatened the empire's stability. Despite these challenges, the coin's inscription, CONCORDIA MILIT, or "military concord," suggests that the Roman government was still emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation among its citizens and military forces. This coin serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the Roman people during a difficult period in their history.
