Additional information

Titus held the tribunician power for the ninth time and his fifteenth imperatorial acclamation in 80 AD — the year Vesuvius had already buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the year the Colosseum was inaugurated with 100 days of games. This coin was struck squarely within that extraordinary twelve-month window. The COS VIII designation places it firmly in his second and final consulship, which he held continuously from 79 AD until his death in 81.

Titus reigned only 26 months in total. The brevity ensures that any issue tied to a specific tribunician iteration carries genuine chronological weight.
