| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP T CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII (Translation: Supereme commander (Imperator) Titus Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, father of the nation, consul for the eighth time.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The god Mars, depicted nude or semi-nude and helmeted, strides vigorously to the right in a dynamic advancing pose, holding a long spear in his right hand and a military trophy over his left shoulder. The large senatorial authorisation monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the field to either side of the central figure, a standard convention on Flavian aes coinage. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no exergual line or additional legend, the composition emphasising the martial vigour of the deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Titus struck this sestertius in 80 AD, the same year Vesuvius had already buried Pompeii and Herculaneum — and the same year the Colosseum was dedicated with 100 days of games. The mint was under enormous pressure to produce coinage that projected stability after Vespasian's death, and the output from this brief reign is correspondingly compressed into a narrow chronological window.
RIC II.1 135 is among the more frequently encountered Titus sestertii, though the reign lasted barely two years before his death in 81 AD.
