Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Titus, who was the Roman emperor from 79 to 81 AD, and the inscription "FIDES PVBLICA S C" which means "Public Faith" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was minted during Titus' reign and was intended to symbolize the emperor's commitment to maintaining the public's trust and confidence in the Roman Empire.
