Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene) on the reverse, which symbolizes peace and prosperity. This is significant because Titus' reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, following the tumultuous years of the Year of the Four Emperors and the Flavian dynasty. The coin's design may have been intended to promote the idea of peace and prosperity under Titus' rule.
