Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Maximinus II coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom, on its reverse side. This is significant because Maximinus II, also known as Maximinus Daia, was known for his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's power and stability during a time of political turmoil and external threats. The inclusion of Libertas on the coin may reflect his efforts to promote the idea of freedom and the values of the Roman Republic, which were central to his reign.
