Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and a depiction of a woman representing the province of Judaea on the other side. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was used as a means of circulating currency throughout the Roman Empire.
