Titus. As Caesar, AD 69-79. Æ As (26mm, 10.94 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Vespasian, AD 76. Laureate head right / Aequitas standing left, holding scales and pertica. RIC II 911 (Vespasian). VF, green patina, some roughness. Wonderful portrait.
The basic attributes of Aequitas are scales and the measuring rod, called a pertica. The Roman Imperial propaganda of this reverse type conveys the message that financial issues are being handled responsibly and fairly.
