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 a depiction of the goddess Diana on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its territories and influence, and it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during that period.
