Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Vitellius) on one side, and the abbreviation "S C" which stands for "Senatus Consulto" or "by decree of the Senate" on the other side. This indicates that the coin was issued by the Roman Senate and is a symbol of the power and authority of the Roman Empire.
