Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aemilianus coin is that it features the goddess Pax (Irene in Greek) on the reverse, which is a symbol of peace and a common motif on Roman coins during this period. This coin was issued during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, following the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the rise of the Tetrarchy. The image of Pax on the coin serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and the role of the Roman Empire in maintaining it.
