Interesting fact
The Dupondius coin featuring Aemilianus (P M TR POT S C) (253) from the Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. Aemilianus was a usurper who seized power for a brief period in 253 AD, and his coinage was minted in Rome during his reign. Despite his short rule, the coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the political and economic climate of the Roman Empire during that time.
