Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Maximinus II, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, his reign was cut short when he was assassinated by his own soldiers in 313 AD. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but significant impact on Roman history.
