Titus held tribunician power for the ninth time and held his fifteenth imperatorial acclamation in 80 AD — the year Vesuvius had already buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the year the Colosseum was finally dedicated after a decade of construction. The games Titus hosted to mark that dedication ran for one hundred days. This issue dates squarely to that moment.
RIC II.1 #113 is one of several closely related types from his eighth consulship sharing near-identical titulature, distinguished by reverse type alone.
