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 fact that it was made of silver and weighs 3 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, likely used for large transactions or as a store of wealth.
