Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Titus (TR POT VIII COS VII) (79) 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 Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch on the other side. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was used as a means of payment and a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence.
