Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Vespasian (PACI AVGVSTAE EPHE; Victory) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Vespasian (71 AD). The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military triumphs and its dominance over other nations. The coin's design was meant to convey the message that the Roman Empire was a powerful and victorious state, and that Vespasian was a strong and capable leader who had brought peace and prosperity to the empire after a period of civil war.
