| Additional information |
Issued in 71 AD during Vespasian's first year as undisputed emperor, this denarius is one of the few Roman imperial coins to feature both designated heirs simultaneously. The titulature PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS — "Prince of Youth" — was a deliberate Augustan revival, signaling dynastic continuity after the chaos of 69 AD, the Year of the Four Emperors. Vespasian was sending a message: the succession question was already settled.
The joint designation of Titus and Domitian on a single coin is historically unusual and was short-lived as a formula.
