Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sestertius - Domitian (PAX AVGVST S C; Pax) (76-77) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene) on the reverse side, which symbolizes peace and harmony. This is significant because it was issued during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, following the reign of Emperor Vespasian who helped to restore order after a period of civil war. The coin's design serves as a reflection of the Empire's values and aspirations at that time.
