Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Domitian (IMP T CAESAR) (70) coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch on the other side. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and influence, and the image of Victory symbolized the empire's military victories and dominance.
