Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Titus (COS IIII) (75) coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and the goddess Venus on the other. This coin was minted during Titus' reign, and the image of Venus was likely included to emphasize the emperor's connection to the gods and to promote the idea of Roman prosperity and abundance.
