| Additional information |
Issued in 71 AD while Titus held tribunician power under his father Vespasian, this denarius belongs to a brief propagandistic series celebrating the pacification of Judaea following the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple the previous year. The PACI ORB TERR legend — "peace to the world" — was a direct claim that the Jewish War's suppression had restored universal order, a message the Flavians hammered relentlessly in coinage, architecture, and the triumph of 71 AD itself.
RIC II.1 1444 is a relatively scarce type within the Flavian Judaea-related issues, distinct from the more common IVDAEA CAPTA series struck under Vespasian's own name.
