Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Titus and Domitianus, on the same coin. This is known as a "joint reign" coinage, where two emperors ruled together for a brief period of time. This specific coin was minted during the year 79-81 AD, in the city of Germe (also known as Pergamum), which was an important center for trade and commerce in the Roman Empire. The coin is made of brass and weighs 3.47 grams, which was a common weight for coins of this denomination during that time period.
