| Reverse description | Two captive figures seated back to back at the foot of a central military trophy: a female captive to the left and a male captive to the right, both rendered in attitudes of dejection with heads bowed or turned aside. The trophy, composed of captured arms and armour mounted on an upright post, dominates the centre of the field and serves as a potent symbol of Roman military supremacy. The composition alludes directly to the Flavian triumph over Judaea and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, a propagandistic theme prominently exploited on the coinage of both Vespasian and Titus. The reverse legend encircles the design within a beaded border, recording the titulature of Titus in the year AD 80. |
