| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Titus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curled hair and a laurel wreath encircling the crown. The portrait displays the characteristic Flavian physiognomy, with a strong jaw and pronounced brow. The circumferential legend runs around the obverse field, naming Titus in his imperial and priestly titles. The truncation of the neck is visible at the lower portion of the flan. The overall style is consistent with Flavian-era Roman portraiture, emphasizing realism and authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This sestertius was struck in 72 AD while Titus held tribunician power under his father Vespasian, predating his own reign by seven years. The SC notation reflects the formal fiction that the Senate retained authority over base-metal coinage — a constitutional arrangement that had been purely ceremonial since Augustus but was nonetheless maintained with scrupulous consistency throughout the Flavian dynasty.
RIC II.1 #429 falls within the Flavian reclassification undertaken by Carradice and Buttrey, which substantially renumbered earlier RIC II attributions. Older references cite different numbers for the same dies.
