Interesting fact
The Denarius coin featuring Antoninus Pius and Romulus and Remus was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana. This period of peace lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD and saw significant cultural, economic, and architectural developments throughout the empire. The coin's design, featuring the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, who legendarily founded Rome, symbolized the empire's strength and unity during this time.
