Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the images of both Titus and Domitian, who were Roman emperors during the 1st century AD. This is significant because it highlights the practice of Roman emperors to issue coins with their own images, as well as the images of their predecessors or successors, as a way of legitimizing their rule and establishing a sense of continuity and tradition. Additionally, the fact that this coin was minted in Stobi, a city in the Roman province of Macedonia, suggests that the Roman Empire had a strong presence in the region and that the city played an important role in the empire's economy and trade.
