The arch of Titus, celebrating his victories in the east, still stands in the Roman forum today. Perhaps the person who first held this coin was present as Titus rode in triumph through the streets of the city, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd. Bearing the emperor’s aristocratic image on one side and the eagle of Zeus on the other, this silver coin evokes the grandeur and glory of the classical world at its height. The person who wears it today is certain to enjoy a major triumph all their own.
