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 the reign of Vespasian (69-79 AD), who was known for his extensive reforms and military campaigns, and his sons Titus (79-81 AD) and Domitian (81-96 AD), who also became emperors later. The coin's reverse (back side) features the goddess Victory standing on a globe, holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the Roman Empire's military triumphs and dominance.
