Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus coin featuring Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the Roman Empire. The coin was issued during the "Year of the Four Emperors," a period of political upheaval in which four different emperors ruled Rome in quick succession. Despite this instability, the Aureus coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the enduring power and influence of the Roman Empire.
