Antoninianus struck in Viminacium mint under Pacatianus to celebrate the 1001 birthday of Rome.

Viminacium was a major city of the Roman province of Moesia (today's Serbia), and the capital of Moesia Superior. Viminacium was the base camp of Legio VII Claudia, and hosted for some time the IV Flavia Felix. It was destroyed by Barbarian raiders.

Today Kostolac, a small Serbian town on the Danube river, is located where Viminacium used to be.
