Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Diocletian (QVIES AVGG, PLN; Londinium) (307) coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who implemented a series of economic and military reforms in an attempt to stabilize the Roman Empire, which was facing numerous challenges at the time, including inflation, corruption, and external threats. The coin's design, featuring the image of the emperor and the inscription "QVIES AVGG" (meaning "eternal emperor") reflects the ideology of the tetrarchy, a system of government where four co-emperors ruled the empire simultaneously, which was introduced by Diocletian in 293 AD.
