Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Maximianus, who was known for his military campaigns and his attempts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his efforts, he ultimately abdicated the throne and retired to a life of private citizenry. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a tangible reminder of his impact on Roman history.
