| Additional information |
Struck under Vespasian's authority but issued in the name of his son Titus, this as belongs to the propaganda campaign following the sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The Flavians needed a legitimizing ideology, and Pax — peace imposed through conquest — was central to it. The Jewish War had filled the treasury and funded an extraordinary building program, coins included.
RIC II.1 750 is a relatively scarce Tiberian-weight as from the early Flavian reorganization of the bronze coinage.
