Titus, 24 June 79 - 13 September 81 A.D.
|Titus|, |Titus,| |24| |June| |79| |-| |13| |September| |81| |A.D.|, On 7th June 1974, during excavations of Pompeii's "House of the Gold Bracelet" an example of this type was discovered among 180 silver and 40 gold coins with the bodies of a group of victims. The traditional date given for the eruption of Vesuvius is 24 August 79 A.D. This traditional date is not, however, based on solid evidence. Contemporary sources and letters indicate that Titus did not receive his 15th Imperial acclamatio until September 79 A.D. The excavation of this coin type at Pompeii indicates the eruption did not occur until later in the fall.
