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 is known as a "double-headed" coin and was only issued during a brief period in Roman history, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
