Dupondius - Titus PON MAX TR POT P P COS V CENS

This dupondius belongs to the brief window of 74 AD when Titus held the censorship alongside Vespasian — a constitutional oddity, since the censorship was traditionally a separate magistracy held by senior statesmen, not functioning co-rulers. Father and son exercised it jointly that year to push through a senatorial roll revision that quietly purged opponents and packed the body with Flavian loyalists.

RIC 763 is among the less frequently encountered of the Titus-as-Caesar orichalcum issues, the CENS titulature pinning it to a single censorial year.
