Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Vespasian (PACI AVGVSTAE; 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. The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military victories and its dominance over other nations. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of Roman supremacy and to reinforce the message that the Roman Empire was a powerful and victorious state.
