Summary

Silver denarius struck during the reign of the Emperor Titus in the name of his father, Vespasian, in the period 79-81 AD, Ancient Roman Empire. Minted by Rome. Vespasian died on 23 June 79 BC and was immediately deified. This issue, in memory of Vespasian, is often dated 80-81 AD as there is a gap in silver and gold coin production in the name of Titus for this period. However there is no reason why production could not have begun in 79.
