| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Vesta seated left on a high-backed throne, draped in long robes, holding a palladium (small upright figure) in her right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The large senatorial authority marks S and C appear prominently in the left and right fields respectively. The goddess's name VESTA is inscribed in the exergue, and the overall composition reflects the Flavian dynastic emphasis on traditional Roman religious cult. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Titus in 80–81 AD, this dupondius belongs to a posthumous series honoring Vespasian, who had died in 79 AD. The decision to continue minting coins in his father's name was politically deliberate — Titus needed to anchor his legitimacy to the established Flavian dynasty rather than stand alone as a new ruler so early in his reign. The Vesta type carried particular ideological weight in this moment, given the destruction of the Temple of Vesta during the civil strife of 69 AD and its subsequent restoration under the Flavians.
