Description
This coin was issued by Titus and there is text that borders the coin on the obverse side that says “Emperator Vespasian". The text borders his father’s head, Emperor Vespasian. Vespasian's fiscal reforms and consolidation of the empire generated political stability and a vast Roman building program. Titus used his father's image to indicate succession. On the reverse side, we see Pax sitting left on a throne, holding an olive branch. Rome experienced great peace during the ruling of Vespsian and Titus, and Pax is used to personify that tranquility.
