Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin As - Domitian (PROVIDENT S C) (72) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Providentia on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96). Providentia was the goddess of foresight and forward planning, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the Roman Empire was guided by divine providence.
