| Reverse description | The reverse field displays the civic crown formula S P Q R / OB / CIVES / SERVATOS inscribed in four lines within a wreath of oak leaves (corona civica), tied at the base. The oak wreath, the corona civica, was Rome's highest honour awarded to one who saved the lives of citizens, here conferred by the Senate and People of Rome upon Titus. The composition is entirely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, the wreath forming a bold circular border around the central legend. The coin's surface shows an even green patina consistent with its bronze alloy and antiquity. |
