Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, on the reverse side. This image was a common motif on Roman coins during the late 1st century AD, and it symbolized the city's foundation and the power of its rulers. The coin's obverse side features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD.
