Reverse description Titus and Domitian, the two sons of Vespasian, portrayed standing facing one another, each holding a long spear. Titus, at left, additionally holds a parazonium (a short military sword), while Domitian, at right, carries a roll or scroll, symbolising civil authority. The composition presents the dynastic programme of the Flavian house, demonstrating the succession and shared power of the imperial family. The legend is distributed around the field, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed.
