Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Semis - Domitian (ANTIOCHIA) (74) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze weighing 4.66 g is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian on one side and a depiction of the goddess Ceres on the other. Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and fertility in Roman mythology, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the prosperity and abundance of the Roman Empire during Domitian's reign.
