Interesting fact
The Dupondius - Gallienus coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Gallienus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 253 to 268 AD. One of the notable features of this coin is that it features the goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which symbolizes the unity and harmony of the Roman Empire. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of unity and cooperation among the Roman people, which was particularly important during a time of political instability and external threats to the empire.
