| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted with the characteristic portrait style of the Flavian dynasty. The emperor's effigy shows a robust neck and naturalistic facial features consistent with official Flavian portraiture. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P COS VIII. The flan is irregular and worn, with the surfaces exhibiting a reddish-brown patina typical of bronze Roman aes coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This as belongs to the brief reign of Titus, who ruled just over two years before dying in September 81 AD — almost certainly of fever, though ancient sources hint at foul play involving his brother Domitian. The SC legend reflects continued senatorial authority over base-metal coinage, a constitutional arrangement dating to Augustus that had become largely ceremonial by this period.
Spes issues under Titus are often linked to the recovery efforts following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and the great fire and plague that struck Rome in 80 AD — calamities that defined the reign.
