Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of Titus, draped, facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Flavian imperial portraiture. The laureate wreath is rendered with fine detail, framing a strong, youthful profile. The circumferential legend runs around the obverse field, naming Titus with his full titulature as Caesar, Imperator, Pontifex, holder of tribunician power, consul for the third time, and censor. The portrait conveys the authoritative yet idealized likeness standard for Flavian sestertii struck under Vespasian.

Aanvullende informatie

Struck in 74 AD when Titus held tribunician power under Vespasian, this sestertius predates his own reign by five years — he would not become emperor until 79 AD, the year Vesuvius buried Pompeii. The ROMA S C type belongs to a concentrated burst of Flavian bronze production aimed at re-establishing confident imperial imagery after the civil wars of 69 AD had badly disrupted mint output and public trust in the coinage.

RIC II.1 738 is catalogued under Vespasian's reign, with Titus named as Caesar.
