Interesting fact
The Denarius - Vespasian (EX) (80-81) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas on its reverse side, which is an interesting fact given that Libertas was not a commonly depicted goddess on Roman coins during this time period. This suggests that Vespasian may have been trying to promote the idea of liberty and freedom during his reign, which is a notable aspect of his rule.
