Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Domitia (CONCORDIA AVGVST) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which symbolizes unity and harmony within the Roman Empire. This image was particularly significant during the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96 AD), who prioritized the idea of concordia and sought to promote unity and stability throughout the empire. The coin's design, therefore, serves as a reflection of the political and social values of the time.
