As - Claudius IMP T VESP AVG RES S C, Minerva

This as belongs to the brief reign of Titus — son of Vespasian, conqueror of Jerusalem — who ruled just over two years before dying in 81 AD under circumstances suspicious enough that ancient sources quietly implicated his brother Domitian. The obverse legend referencing his father's deification (DIVI VESP F, in various forms across the series) reflects Titus's careful cultivation of Flavian dynastic legitimacy. The RES S C issues are restorations, struck under Titus to revive Claudian types, a deliberate act of political memory connecting the new dynasty to the Julio-Claudian line it had replaced.
