Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian (81-96 AD) on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Tyche on the other. Tyche was the patron deity of the city of Antioch, where the coin was minted, and her image on the coin symbolizes the city's prosperity and good fortune.
