Antoninianus of Quintillus c. 3th century

Editor: So, this is an Antoninianus of Quintillus – no date is listed, but it’s attributed to Quintillian. It's a coin, so it's small and metallic. It looks worn, like it has a story to tell. What's your take on it? Curator: Well, just imagine holding a piece of history, quite literally! Each scratch and imperfection whispers tales of countless transactions and journeys across time. It's not just metal; it's a tangible link to a fleeting emperor. What kind of stories do you imagine it could tell, if it could talk? Editor: I'm thinking stories of power, trade, maybe even everyday life in ancient Rome. I never thought a coin could be so evocative. Curator: Exactly! It's a portal to the past, a tiny window into a world so different yet so connected to our own. Maybe we should all carry a coin with us as a reminder of that connection.
