| Beschrijving keerzijde | A slow quadriga advancing to the left, drawn by four horses rendered in careful detail with their legs in a walking pose. The car is depicted in basket or modius form containing three prominent ears of grain (corn-ears), a distinctive type evoking the Cerealia or imperial munificence in grain supply. A figure with raised arm is visible above the car, holding the reins. The legend is distributed above the scene along the upper field within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This aureus was struck in the final months of Vespasian's reign — Titus held tribunician power for the eighth time and his seventh consulship in 79 AD, the same year his father died in June and Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum in August. The coin therefore straddles two reigns. Titus had been functioning as co-emperor and effective administrator for years, making the transition seamless, but pieces bearing this precise titulature belong to a window of just months.
RIC II.1 1072 is a Flavian dynastic issue from Rome.
