Titus held the tribunician power for the ninth time and the imperium for the fourteenth during the months this coin was struck — a dating formula that places it squarely within 79 AD, the year Vespasian died and Titus assumed sole rule. It is also the year Vesuvius erupted in August, burying Pompeii and Herculaneum. Titus redirected substantial imperial resources toward relief efforts in Campania almost immediately, an act noted approvingly by Suetonius.
RIC II.1 #31 is one of several closely related types from Titus's accession year, distinguished by the specific iteration of his titulature rather than design variation.
