Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitianus (also known as Domitian) on one side, while the other side bears the inscription "ANTIOCHIA AD HIPPUM" and a representation of the goddess Tyche, who was revered as the protector of the city. This coin was minted during Domitian's reign (81-96 AD) and was likely used for everyday transactions in the ancient city of Antioch ad Hippum, which was located in present-day Syria.
