Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Titus (COS VI) (77-78) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the imperial period. The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the power and dominance of the Roman Empire, and it was often depicted holding a wreath or a palm branch, as seen on this coin.
