(Translation: Imperator Titus Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Consul Octavum. Supereme commander (Imperator) Titus Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, consul for the eighth time.)
Reverse description The goddess Ceres rendered as a full-length standing figure facing left, draped in long robes, holding a bundle of corn-ears in her extended right hand and a long torch in her left hand. The composition emphasizes the deity's role as patroness of grain and fertility, a common theme in Flavian imperial iconography linking the emperor's reign with abundance. The senatorial mark of authority, S C (Senatus Consultum), is placed in the lower field to either side of the figure. The encircling legend CERES AVGVST runs around the upper periphery of the coin.
