Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Vespasian, who was the Roman Emperor from 69 to 79 AD, on one side, and a depiction of a woman, believed to be the goddess Victory, on the other side. This coin was minted during Vespasian's reign, and it is believed that the image of Victory was included to commemorate his military victories, particularly his successful campaigns in Judaea (present-day Israel).
