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 the Roman goddess Salus, who represented safety and well-being, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the importance of the emperor's role in maintaining the safety and well-being of the citizens.
