Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of a Roman warship on the other. This design was common for coins during Domitian's reign and symbolized the Roman Empire's military power and control over the seas.
