Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its influence over Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean world, and it reflects the blending of Roman and Greek cultures that occurred during this period.
