| Additional information |
Struck under Vespasian but with Titus named as issuer in his capacity as Caesar, this issue belongs to the period when the Flavian dynasty was actively consolidating its legitimacy after the chaos of 69 AD. The ROMA S C reverse type was part of a deliberate program connecting the new dynasty to Rome's foundational mythology — a politically motivated choice, not an aesthetic one.
RIC II.1 1278 is among the issues reassigned or renumbered in the second edition of RIC volume II, revised by Carradice and Buttrey in 2007, which substantially reorganized Flavian coinage attributions from the older Mattingly-Sydenham framework.
