Reverse description Venus standing facing right, her figure lightly draped, resting her left elbow upon a column while holding a helmet in her extended right hand and a spear in her left. The goddess is rendered in a graceful contrapposto pose, conveying the Flavian artistic tradition of combining military allegory with divine imagery. The encircling Latin legend TR P VIIII IMP XV COS VII P P is distributed around the field, recording Titus's ninth tribunician power, fifteenth imperatorial acclamation, seventh consulship, and title of Father of the Fatherland. The reverse type of Venus Victrix reflects the Flavian dynasty's close association with the goddess and its emphasis on military victory. The coin exhibits moderate wear with legend partially flattened on the high points of the irregular flan.
