| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large monogram S C (Senatus Consulto — by decree of the Senate) prominently in the central field, a standard device on Roman imperial bronze coinage affirming senatorial authority over the bronze currency. The surrounding legend IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII encircles the field, recording the full titulature of the reigning emperor Titus. The inscription is arranged in a continuous circular band along the rim, with a dotted border visible at the periphery. The composition is characteristic of the consecratio series struck at Rome under Titus in AD 80–81 to honour his deified father Vespasian. The S C monogram is boldly rendered in high relief against the otherwise plain field. |
