Commentary
Ce monnayage, beaucoup plus abondant pour Titus que pour Vespasien semble avoir été frappé entre 71 et 73. La fabrication semble s’interrompre après cette date, remplacé par un monnayage au nom d’Agrippa. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
This coinage, much more abundant for Titus than for Vespasian, seems to have been struck between 71 and 73. Production seems to have stopped after this date, replaced by a coinage in the name of Agrippa. This is the first time that we have offered this type for sale.

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).
