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 prosperity. This is significant because Titus' reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana, which lasted for over 200 years. The coin's design serves as a representation of the Roman Empire's values and ideals during this time, highlighting the importance of peace and prosperity in the empire's success.
