Æ25 - Domitianus ΦΛΑΟΥΙ ΝΕΑΠΟΛΙ ΣΑΜΑΡΕ L ΑΙ

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitianus (also known as Domitian) on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Samaria on the other. This coin was minted in Neapolis (modern-day Nablus) in the region of Judaea during the 82-83 AD, which was during Domitian's reign. The use of a local deity on the coin suggests that the Roman authorities were attempting to promote unity and acceptance of Roman rule among the local population. Additionally, the fact that it was made of bronze and weighs 11.8g suggests that it was a widely circulating coin among the common people, and not a rare or special issue.
