Beschrijving keerzijde The personification of Securitas, goddess of security and public safety, is depicted seated to the left upon a throne, holding a long sceptre in her right hand. A lighted altar appears to the left of the central figure, serving as a votive symbol of the peace and stability proclaimed under Titus. The reverse legend encircles the field, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed in the lower exergual area, as was standard for Roman aes coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Titus reigned just over two years — long enough to oversee the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, a devastating fire in Rome, and a plague, all in rapid succession. The SECVRITAS P R legend on this issue carried pointed political weight: a ruler presiding over catastrophe had obvious incentive to project stability. The Senate's SC authorization marks this as official fiduciary bronze, struck at Rome during one of the more turbulent brief reigns of the Julio-Claudian-Flavian sequence.
