Titus, 24 June 79 - 13 September 81 A.D.Titus Flavius Vespasianus was the hero of the Judean rebellion (from the Roman perspective) and a very popular emperor. He presided over the empire during the cataclysmic eruption of Vesuvius, which buried half the towns of the Bay of Naples, including Pompeii. He was described as handsome, charming and generous. Titus once complained that he had lost a day because twenty-four hours passed without his bestowing a gift. He was, however, generous to a fault, which depleted the treasury. If he had ruled longer, he might have brought the empire to bankruptcy and lost his popularity. He died of illness in 81 A.D., succeeded by his brother Domitian.Insert detailed biography hereObverse legends:DIVOTITO IMPERATORTCAESARAVGVSTIF IMPTCAESARCOSIII IMPTCAESARVESPASIANVSAVG IMPTCAESVESPASIANAVGPM IMPTCAESVESPAVGPMTRPCOSVIII IMPTCAESVESPAVGPMTRPPPCOSVIII IMPTITVSCAESVESPASIANAVGPM IMPTITVSCAEVESPASIANVSAVGPM IMPTVESPAVGCOSVIII TCAESARIMPCOSIIICENS TCAESARIMPCOSIIII TCAESARIMPVESP TCAESARIMPVESPASIAN TCAESARIMPVESPASIANVS TCAESARIMPVESPASIANVSCOSIII TCAESARIMPVESPASIANVSCOSVI TCAESARVESPASIANVS TCAESIMP TCAESIMPAVGFTRPCOSVICENSOR TCAESIMPPONTRPCOSIICENS TCAESIMPVESPCEN TCAESIMPVESPCENS TCAESIMPVESPPONTRPOT TCAESIMPVESPPONTRPCENS TCAESVESPASIANIMPPONTRPOTCOSIIICENS TCAESVESPASIANIMPPTRPCOSII Dates Rarity of Denominations, Average Weights of Well Preserved Coins, Mints, and Other InformationAverage well preserved denarius weight 3.30 grams.
