Aureus - Titus AETERNITAS, Pax

Struck under Titus as Caesar during the reign of Vespasian, this aureus belongs to a tightly defined group issued as the Flavian dynasty worked to consolidate its legitimacy after the chaos of 69 AD. The pairing of Aeternitas and Pax was deliberate political messaging — Vespasian's regime needed both concepts badly, having emerged from a year of four emperors and ongoing pacification of Judaea. RIC II.1 866 is a Rome mint issue, and examples in any grade are genuinely scarce given the limited surviving pool of Flavian gold.
