| Beschrijving keerzijde | Confronted bare busts of Titus (left) and Domitian (right), both rendered as youthful princes without headgear, their faces nearly touching at the centre of the field. The composition emphasises dynastic continuity by presenting the two heirs of Vespasian face to face. The Greek letter Phi (Φ) appears in the left field as a mint or workshop control mark. A Latin circular legend runs along the upper and lower periphery within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This denarius was struck at Ephesus during the chaotic opening months of Vespasian's reign, when the new Flavian dynasty had not yet consolidated its hold on the western mints. Ephesus served as a key military paymaster during the Jewish War, and coinage from this eastern operation moved quickly into legionary hands rather than general circulation — which partly explains why survivors tend to show less wear than their Roman mint counterparts.
The LIBERI IMP type referencing Vespasian's sons was a calculated dynastic statement issued while Titus was still prosecuting the siege of Jerusalem.
