Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features the image of Titus, who was the Roman emperor from 79 to 81 AD, and the inscription "Pax Augusta" which means "Peace of the Augustus" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was issued during Titus' reign and was intended to promote the idea of peace and stability under his rule.
