| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Titus facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic short curly hair and strong, idealized facial features typical of Flavian portraiture. The effigy is bare-necked and displayed in profile, occupying the majority of the flan. A beaded border frames the design, with the Latin imperial titulature legend running clockwise around the periphery. The engraving demonstrates the confident, naturalistic style associated with the Rome mint under the Flavian dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This sestertius belongs to a narrow issue struck in the months following the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in August 79 AD, which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum and killed tens of thousands. Titus, who had just assumed sole rule after Vespasian's death in June, responded with an unprecedented relief effort — dispatching consular officials to Campania and drawing on imperial treasury funds to aid survivors. The PIETAS iconography was not incidental; it was a deliberate political response to a dynasty visibly tested by disaster.
Domitian's inclusion reflects the still-unresolved question of succession within the Flavian house.
