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 goddess Pax (Pacis) on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its name "PACIS S C" (Pax Sancta Constantinopolitana). This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Domitian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 81 to 96 AD. The image of Pax on the coin symbolizes the peace and prosperity that the Roman Empire experienced during Domitian's reign.
