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 Roma on the other. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana, which lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD.
