Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin As - Titus (S C; Spes) (74) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Spes (meaning "hope" in Latin) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Titus (79-81 AD). This coin was likely minted to commemorate the Roman Empire's victory over the Jewish rebels in Jerusalem in 70 AD, which marked the end of the First Jewish-Roman War. The image of Spes on the coin may symbolize the hope for a lasting peace and prosperity under Titus' rule.
