Commentary
Semble totalement inédit et absent de tous les catalogues consultés. Légende de droit inconnue ! Tout comme l’exemplaire précédent, s’agirait-il d’une nouvelle émission ou encore, pourrait-il simplement s’agir d’une imitation, ce qui reste peu probable vu la qualité des coins employés ?.
Appears to be completely unpublished and absent from all catalogs consulted. Legal legend unknown! Just like the previous copy, could this be a new issue or could it simply be an imitation, which remains unlikely given the quality of the dies used?

Historical background
TITUS
(1/07/69-13/09/81)
Augustus with Vespasianus
Titus, born December 30, 39, is the eldest son of Vespasian. He follows his father to Judea, where he is legate of the XV Apollinaris legion. After the proclamation of Alexandria, Vespasian leaves it to him to complete the pacification of Judea, during which he falls in love with Bérénice (cf. Racine's play). After the capture of Jerusalem in the summer of 70, he celebrated the triumph with his father in January 71. Associated with power by his father, he succeeded him on June 24, 79, having broken with the beautiful Jewish princess in 75. His reign n is only a series of disasters: the eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, then the fire of Rome in 80. He died in 81, perhaps assassinated at the instigation of his brother, Domitian (Suetonius).
