Additional information

This sestertius was struck under Titus as Caesar, during the co-regency with his father Vespasian — a deliberate dynastic signal at a moment when the Flavians were still consolidating power following the chaos of 69 AD. The ROMA S C reverse type belongs to a broader Flavian program of issues celebrating Rome's restored stability, implicitly contrasting the new regime with the civil wars that had just consumed four emperors in a single year.

RIC II.1 425 is a Vespasianic-era type attributed to the Rome mint specifically.
