| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two standing figures, identified as Titus and Domitian, face one another in a symmetrical composition. Titus stands at left holding a spear and a parazonium (short sword), while Domitian stands at right holding a spear and a scroll (roll). Both figures are rendered in the heroic military style typical of Flavian dynastic propaganda. The senatorial mark of authority S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, with the dynastic legend distributed around the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 71 AD, the year following Vespasian's consolidation of power after the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors, this sestertius is a deliberate piece of dynastic propaganda — all three Flavians named together on a single coin to announce the new ruling family to a Rome exhausted by civil war. Vespasian had not yet been emperor two full years when this was struck, and the inclusion of both sons was calculated: Titus already held imperator acclamations from the Jewish War, while Domitian's presence legitimized a succession that extended the dynasty into the next generation.
RIC II.1 152 places this among the Rome mint issues of 71, a year of exceptionally heavy bronze production as the Flavians worked to flood circulation with imagery reinforcing their authority.
