As - Titus VICTORIA AVGVST S C, Victory

This as belongs to Titus's brief reign — just over two years — during which the mint was under considerable pressure. The eruption of Vesuvius in August 79 AD, the fire that devastated Rome in 80 AD, and a simultaneous plague all fell within his tenure, and coinage celebrating Victory carried an unmistakable political urgency: the regime needed to project stability and divine favor simultaneously. The Victory type likely draws on the Judean triumph imagery Titus had exploited since 71 AD, though by this point that conquest was a decade old.
