| 表面の説明 | Laureate head of Titus facing right, rendered with fine classical portraiture typical of the Flavian mint. The effigy displays the prince's characteristic features with a wreath of laurel leaves encircling the head. The circumferential Latin legend runs continuously around the obverse field, identifying Titus by his full titulature as Caesar, Imperator, Pontifex, holder of tribunician power, and consul for the sixth time. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief against a broad, slightly irregular flan characteristic of Flavian-era sestertii. |

This sestertius belongs to a narrow window of Titus's tenure as co-emperor under Vespasian, struck just a few years before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD would define his reign in history. The RIC II.1 1024 attribution places it within the Flavian reorganization of the imperial mint at Rome, a period when the dynasty was still aggressively consolidating legitimacy after the chaos of 69 AD's four-emperor succession crisis.
Titus died in 81 AD after only two years as sole emperor — suspicious enough that ancient sources, including Suetonius, raised the possibility of foul play by his brother Domitian.
