| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Annona, goddess of the grain supply, depicted seated left on a throne or chair, draped in flowing robes. She extends her right hand holding corn-ears over a modius (grain measure) placed on an altar or column before her, while her left hand holds a cornucopia or sack. The composition conveys the emperor's provision for the Roman grain supply, a central theme of Flavian propaganda. The Latin legend is distributed in the field around the central figure, with the large senatorial mark S C flanking the reverse type. |

Titus reigned just over two years — long enough to oversee the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, a catastrophic fire in Rome, and a plague, all in rapid succession. The ANNONA type was a pointed political response: grain supply disruptions following the Vesuvius disaster required emergency redistribution efforts, and the personification of Rome's grain supply on the coinage was not incidental. It was a public assurance that the emperor had the annona under control.
RIC II.1 #139 is one of several Annona types from this compressed reign, struck at Rome in the final year before Titus died under circumstances ancient sources never fully resolved.
