Reverse description The reverse depicts two togate figures standing facing one another in the centre of the field, identified as Titus (left) and Domitian (right), each wearing military dress with a paludamentum; Titus holds a spear upright in his right hand while Domitian holds a spear and raises his right hand in a gesture of salutation or acclamation. The two imperial princes are shown as equals, celebrating Vespasian's dynastic programme. The senatorial authority mark S C appears in the exergue below a ground line, flanked by the encircling legend CAESAR AVG F DES IMP AVG F COS DES IT referencing the designations of both heirs. The composition is symmetrical and formally conceived, typical of Flavian dynastic reverse types struck at Rome.
