| Additional information |
Lucius Titurius Sabinus held the moneyer position in 89 BC, a year Rome was simultaneously fighting the Social War against its Italian allies — a conflict that forced the senate to extend citizenship to most of the peninsula while the mint was under considerable production pressure. Titurius chose to anchor his coinage to the mythological Sabine heritage, a pointed political gesture given that the Social War's central grievance was exactly the question of who counted as Roman.
RRC 344/2 is the commoner of the two Tituria denarius types, though the series as a whole sees pronounced die axis variation.
