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 Pax (Peace) on the reverse side, which was a common motif during Gallienus' reign. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of peace and stability within the empire, which was a key concern during a time of political and military turmoil.
