The Denarius - Domitian (73) coin features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian on one side and a depiction of the goddess Ceres on the other. Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and fertility, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the prosperity and abundance of the Roman Empire during Domitian's reign.
