Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 94 AD, on one side, and a representation of the goddess Tyche, the patron deity of the city of Tyre, on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its influence in the region and is a testament to the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this period.
