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 unique design during that time period. This coin was minted during a period of political stability in the Roman Empire, known as the Flavian dynasty, which lasted from 69 to 96 AD. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of a unified and strong Roman Empire, with the three emperors representing the past, present, and future of the empire.
