Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Domitian (COS XIIII) (88) coin is that it features a portrait of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch on the other side. This coin was minted during Domitian's 14th year of rule, as indicated by the COS XIIII marking, and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
