(Translation: Titus Caesar Imperator Vespasianus. Titus, Caesar, supreme commander (Imperator), Vespasianus.)
Reverse description Mars, the god of war, depicted standing left in a powerful contrapposto stance, helmeted and otherwise naked save for a military cloak draped around his waist. He holds a transverse spear in his right hand and bears a captured trophy over his left shoulder with his left hand, evoking Roman martial triumph. The figure is rendered in the bold, classicizing style characteristic of Flavian imperial reverses. The abbreviated legend COS VI appears in the field, referencing Titus's sixth consulship and providing the chronological anchor for this issue.
