The Dupondius - Titus coin was used during the reign of Emperor Titus (79-81 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's economy and infrastructure after the damage caused by his father, Vespasian's, reign. The coin's design features the goddess Securitas (Security) on the reverse, which reflects Titus' focus on maintaining peace and stability within the empire.
