Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Venus on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was at its peak, and it is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the ancient Romans.
