| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Titus facing right, depicted with a strongly modelled profile characteristic of Flavian portraiture, with a short neck and broad shoulders partially visible at the coin's lower edge. The surrounding legend runs clockwise from the lower left, rendered in incuse Latin capitals. The portrait conveys the authoritative and youthful dignity appropriate to Titus in his role as Caesar under Vespasian. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of hammered bronze sestertii of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in 72 AD, this sestertius belongs to Titus's tenure as co-emperor under Vespasian, a period when the Flavian dynasty was aggressively advertising its legitimacy through coinage following the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors. The timing places it squarely within the aftermath of the Jewish War — Jerusalem had fallen in 70 AD, the Temple treasury looted, and Flavian propaganda was in full force. Much of the bronze coinage of this moment was financed, at least symbolically, by spoils from Judaea.
RIC II.1 #430 is attributed to the Rome mint under Vespasian's seventh tribunician year.
