Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portrait of three Roman emperors, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian, on the obverse (front side), which was a common practice during the Roman Empire's "Year of the Three Emperors" (70 AD). This coin was minted during a time of political instability, as the Roman Empire was transitioning from one ruler to another, and it serves as a tangible reminder of the historical events that took place during that time period.
