The Denarius - Domitian (TR POT IMP II COS VIII DES IX P P; Fortuna) (82) coin features an image of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune and prosperity, on its reverse side. This is significant because Fortuna was an important deity in ancient Roman culture and was often depicted on coins as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The inclusion of Fortuna on this coin may have been a way for the Roman Empire to promote the idea of good fortune and prosperity for its citizens, and it could also have been seen as a way to express the emperor's desire for a prosperous and successful reign.
