| Additional information |
This as belongs to a remarkable institutional moment: it was struck not under Titus's own reign but during his father Vespasian's, with Titus holding tribunician power and named on the coinage as heir apparent. The VICTORIA AVGVSTI type references the Flavian victory in the Jewish War, concluded with the fall and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD — a military event the dynasty monetized aggressively across nearly a decade of coin production.
RIC II.1 1284 is a Vespasianic-era issue attributable to the Rome mint, struck approximately seven years after that victory was still being commemorated on fresh bronze.
