Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Vespasian (AVG) (74) coin is that it features a portrait of the Roman Emperor Vespasian, who ruled from 69 to 79 AD, on one side, and a representation of the goddess Victory on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of significant change and upheaval in the Roman Empire, with Vespasian being the fourth emperor to rule in a span of just ten years. Despite this instability, the Denarius remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the empire.
