Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and draped bust of Titus facing right, rendered in high relief with fine engraving characteristic of early Flavian imperial coinage. The effigy displays the youthful features of Titus as Caesar under his father Vespasian, with closely cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The surrounding legend in Latin capitals reads T CAES IMP VESP PON TR POT, disposed around the periphery of the flan within a beaded border. The drapery over the left shoulder is rendered in a stylised but convincing manner typical of the Rome mint workshops of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

Struck under Titus's authority during the Jewish War's immediate aftermath, this denarius belongs to the "Judaea Capta" commemorative series issued following the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the sack of the Second Temple. The campaign yielded enough plundered treasure — Josephus estimated it transformed Roman gold markets — to fund the Colosseum's construction, begun under Vespasian in 72 AD.

RIC II.1 1562 is a Caesarean issue, struck while Titus held tribunician power but before his sole reign, making the precise attribution to eastern versus Roman mints a point of ongoing scholarly debate reflected in the dual RIC/RPC citations.
