Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian (r. 81-96 AD) on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This combination of Roman and Greek imagery reflects the cultural blending that occurred during the Roman Empire's expansion into the eastern Mediterranean.
