Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of three emperors on its reverse side - Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. This is unusual because Roman coins typically featured only one emperor per coin. The fact that three emperors are depicted on this coin suggests that it was issued during a time of political stability and unity in the Roman Empire, which was a rare occurrence during this period.
