Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Titus, who was the Roman emperor from 79 to 81 AD, and the goddess Aequitas, who represents fairness and justice, on the reverse side. This highlights the importance of justice and fairness in Roman society during that time period.
