Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Titus (S P Q R) (73) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and the abbreviation "S P Q R" (Senatus Populusque Romanus) meaning "The Senate and People of Rome" on the other side. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire.
