Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Titus (PACI ORB TERR 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 Pax (Irene) on the other side, symbolizing the peace and prosperity that Titus brought to the Roman Empire during his reign.
