One interesting fact about the Sestertius - Titus (S C; Roma) (80-81) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. The image of Roma on the coin symbolizes the imperial power and authority of Rome, while the image of Titus serves as a reminder of the emperor's role as the leader of the empire.
