Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Augustus (S P Q R) (68-69) coin is that it features an image of Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a representation of the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was at its peak, and it serves as a symbol of the power and influence of the Roman Empire during that period.
