Obverse description Laureate and bearded bust of Titus facing right, rendered in fine relief characteristic of Flavian imperial portraiture. The laureate wreath is rendered with individual leaves clearly articulated, and the short beard is depicted with careful attention to texture. The legend encircles the portrait, reading from the lower left in crisp Latin capitals. The portrait conveys the authority of Titus as Caesar and heir apparent under his father Vespasian, with strong facial features and a naturalistic profile.
Obverse script Latin
Obverse lettering T CAES IMP VESP PON TR POT
(Translation: Titus Caesar Imperator Vespasianus, Pontifex [Maximus], Tribunicia Potestate. Titus, Caesar, supreme commander (Imperator), Vespasianus, [high] priest, holder of tribunician power.)
