| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted with short curly hair and a strong, youthful portrait typical of Flavian dynastic coinage. The bust is draped at the shoulder. The encircling legend reads T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS in Latin characters, identifying Titus in his capacity as Caesar and Imperator under his father Vespasian. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous, naturalistic style characteristic of the Rome Mint workshops of the late Flavian period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mars, the god of war, stands facing left in a military contrapposto pose, nude save for a crested helmet and military cloak. He holds a spear upright in his right hand and a trophy or shield over his left shoulder. At his feet to the right stands a stylized palm or olive branch. The abbreviated legend COS VI appears divided across the field, flanking the figure, denoting Titus's sixth consulship and providing a precise terminus post quem for the issue. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Titus as Caesar during the joint reign with Vespasian, this issue dates to a period when Titus held considerable independent authority — he had effectively co-administered the empire since the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD and was de facto heir in all but title. The COS VI designation places production firmly in 77–78, one of the last years before Vespasian's death transferred full power to him.
RIC II.1 949 is catalogued under Vespasian's reign rather than Titus's own, a classification detail that has caused persistent confusion in older sale records.
