| Additional information |
This sestertius belongs to the early joint coinage of Vespasian's reign, struck when Titus held tribunician power and was being visibly groomed as successor — a political calculation Vespasian made explicit in the coinage well before his death in 79 AD. The SC attribution places production under senatorial authorization, though by the Flavian period that formula had long ceased to reflect any genuine senatorial control over mint output. RIC II.1 500 is a scarce type within the broader Vespasianic bronze series, and examples in anything above Fine see limited market appearances.
