| Beschrijving keerzijde | A slow quadriga advancing left, the four horses depicted in a measured, stately procession with careful attention to the rendering of the animals' bodies and legs. The chariot body is shown in a distinctive latticed or basket-like form, within which three ears of grain are prominently displayed, evoking the imperial concern for the grain supply and the abundance of the annona. To the right of the quadriga stands a modius surmounted by additional grain ears, reinforcing the agricultural and fertility symbolism of the composition. The reverse legend, distributed in the upper field around the periphery of the flan, records Titus's tribunician power and consular iteration, with the scene enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Titus held the tribunician power for the eighth time and his seventh consulship only briefly — this emission belongs to the final months of Vespasian's reign, struck while Titus was effectively co-emperor and managing the day-to-day administration of Rome. Vespasian died in June 79 AD, and coins bearing these specific titulatures were superseded almost immediately by issues in Titus's own name as sole Augustus.
Vesuvius erupted that August.
