Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of three Roman emperors - Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian - on one side, which was a rare occurrence in Roman coinage. This coin was minted during a time of political instability in the Roman Empire, and the inclusion of multiple emperors on the coin may have been a way to emphasize the unity and stability of the ruling family.
