This sestertius was struck in 72 AD when Titus held tribunician power under Vespasian, predating his own reign by seven years. The FORTVNAE REDVCI legend — Fortuna the home-bringer — almost certainly references the return of Vespasian and Titus to Rome following the Judaean campaign, concluded with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The triumph had been celebrated in 71 AD, making this issue a sustained piece of Flavian propaganda rather than an immediate commemorative response.
