| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Titus facing right, rendered with finely detailed curly hair and a short beard, the portrait displaying the characteristic Flavian dynastic style. The emperor's bare shoulder and neck are visible below the laureate head, with the wreath of laurel clearly delineated in relief. The encircling legend runs continuously around the coin's periphery in bold Latin capitals. The portrait is modelled in high relief with confident die-cutting typical of the Rome mint under the Flavian emperors. The overall composition conveys imperial authority in the established tradition of Roman official portraiture. |

Titus struck this issue in 80 AD — the year Vesuvius had already buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the same year the Colosseum opened and a devastating fire tore through Rome. The appeal to Vesta was not incidental. The Temple of Vesta in the Forum suffered badly in that fire, and the coinage of this period reflects a deliberate imperial effort to signal restoration and divine favor amid consecutive catastrophes.
