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 efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, he was eventually forced to abdicate and commit suicide after a rebellion led by his own soldiers. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his impact on Roman history.
