Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony and unity, on the reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, and that the emperor Titus was promoting the idea of unity and cooperation among his subjects.
