Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sestertius - Titus (S C) (72-73) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a scene of a Roman naval fleet, which reflects Titus' military campaigns against the Jewish rebels in Judea.
