Reverse description A defeated captive kneels to the right with hands bound behind the back, positioned before a Roman military trophy composed of a crested helmet, cuirass, crossed spears, a round shield, and a parazonium (short sword). The composition is a clear reference to the Flavian victory in the Jewish War and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. The reverse legend is distributed across the field in two lines or along the periphery, providing the tribunician and consular titulature of Titus. The overall reverse design follows the well-established Flavian iconographic tradition of commemorating military triumph through the trophy and captive motif.
