Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of both Titus and Domitian, who were brothers and Roman emperors. This is significant because it highlights the practice of sibling rule, where brothers or other family members would rule together, which was not uncommon in the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition and weight of 10.96g were standard for Roman coins during this time period.
