Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Vespasian and Titus, on the same coin. This was a unique occurrence in Roman coinage and indicates that the coin was minted during a time of political stability and unity in the Roman Empire.
