Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The coin , the Semis - Vespasian (ANTIOCHIA) (74) from Rome › Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Bronze weighing 5.15 g, features an image of the Roman emperor Vespasian on one side and a representation of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Vespasian's reign, which lasted from 69 to 79 AD, and it was used as a means of payment and exchange throughout the Roman Empire. It's worth noting that Vespasian was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore stability to the Roman Empire after a period of civil war and unrest. He also oversaw the construction of several important public works, including the Colosseum in Rome. I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
