Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Titus (AVG) (71) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other side. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire. The coin's design and the materials used to make it reflect the cultural and religious beliefs of the Roman Empire during that time period.
