RIC 389 (R). BMC p. 144 note. RSC 16. BNC 108.
Titus struck a small issue of denarii for his daughter Julia Titi, most of which are fairly scarce. This Vesta reverse type is much rarer than the more commonly encountered Venus one. Julia is seen here sporting the classic Flavian lady hairdo.
Worn, but not unattractively so.
