Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin As - Domitian (S C) (80-81) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze weighing 4.15 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 the Roman goddess Roma on the other. This coin was part of a large-scale minting program initiated by Domitian to promote his image and reinforce the power of the Roman state. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant artifact that provides insight into the economic, political, and cultural practices of the Roman Empire during the late 1st century AD.
