Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin As - Domitian (S C) (74) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze weighing 5.1 g 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 coin was part of a large-scale minting effort during Domitian's reign, which aimed to stabilize the Roman economy and promote the Roman Empire's power and influence. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant artifact of ancient Roman history and culture.
