Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Roman emperor, Titus, on one side, and his brother and successor, Domitian, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, with the Year of the Four Emperors in 69 AD, and the Flavian dynasty taking power with Titus' reign from 79-81 AD. Despite the political upheaval, this coin remained a standard circulation coin, highlighting the stability and continuity of the Roman currency system.
