The Denarius - Vespasian (PACI AVGVSTAE; Victory) coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 69 to 79 AD. The coin's design features a depiction of the goddess Victory on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during this period. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Vespasian, who is shown with a distinctive " Imperial" hairstyle, which was a symbol of his imperial power. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight of 3.5 grams made it a widely used and accessible form of currency during its time.
