Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius (OB CIVIS SERVATOS) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom and liberty, on its reverse side. This symbolism was particularly significant during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, who issued the coin, as he was known for his efforts to restore peace and stability to the Roman Empire after a period of civil war and unrest. The coin's design serves as a testament to the importance of liberty and the values that the Roman Empire stood for during that time.
