Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Titus (AETERNITAS; Pax) (76) coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene in Greek) on the reverse, which symbolizes peace and tranquility. This is significant because Titus' reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, following the tumultuous years of the Year of the Four Emperors and the Flavian dynasty. The coin's design may have been intended to promote the idea of Pax Romana, or Roman peace, which was a central theme of Titus' rule.
