Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Domitian and Vespasian, on the same coin. This coin was minted during a time of political instability in the Roman Empire, and the dual portrait symbolizes the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
