Reverse description Standing female figure, identified as Pax or a similar personification, depicted in long flowing robes facing left or in three-quarter view, holding an olive branch in her extended right hand and a caduceus or sceptre in her left. The figure is rendered in the classicising style favoured by Flavian die-engravers, with drapery folds carefully articulated. The surrounding legend TR P VIIII IMP XV COS VII P P encircles the field, enumerating Titus's principal constitutional titles for his ninth year of tribunician power. The reverse field is relatively plain, focusing attention on the central personification. The coin as a whole reflects the political messaging of the early reign of Titus, emphasising peace and imperial legitimacy.
