Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Titus (IMP XIII) (77-78) coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Titus, who was known for his military conquests and his role in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 77-81 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
