Commentary
Ruban de type 2. Il existe au moins trois types de représentations différentes pour le trône : surmonté d’un foudre, d’un dossier circulaire ou d’un dossier triangulaire. Notre denier appartient à la première combinaison. Parfois, le foudre est ailé ce qui est le cas de notre exemplaire. D’autre part, toutes les marques numérales sont surmontées d’un tilde abréviatif. Un tissu est posé sur le trône, il pourrait s’agir du paludamentum (manteau de pourpre rouge du général victorieux, puis de l’empereur).
Ribbon type 2. There are at least three different types of representations for the throne: surmounted by a thunderbolt, a circular backrest, or a triangular backrest. Our denarius belongs to the first combination. Sometimes, the thunderbolt is winged, which is the case with our example. On the other hand, all the numeral marks are surmounted by an abbreviative tilde. A cloth is placed on the throne; it could be the paludamentum (the red-purple cloak of the victorious general, then of the emperor).

Historical background
TITUS
(1/07/69-13/09/81)
Augustus
Titus, born December 30, 39, is the eldest son of Vespasian. He followed 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 t was only a series of catastrophes, the eruption of Vesuvius in 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). It is described as "the delight of mankind".
