Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Titus (IVDAEA DEVICTA; Victory) coin is that it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Titus (79-81 AD). The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military prowess and its ability to conquer and subdue other nations. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of Roman supremacy and to reinforce the notion that the Roman Empire was the greatest power in the ancient world.
