Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Valerianus coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Liberalitas, who represents liberality, generosity, and abundance. The inclusion of this image on the coin may suggest that the Roman Empire was promoting the values of generosity and abundance during the reign of Valerianus, who ruled from 253 to 257 AD.
