This aureus belongs to an important and short lived dynastic issue, celebrating most of the members of the emperor's family, both living and deceased. The issue included aurei for the three Flavian emperors, each paired with an appropriate Augusta: Divus Vespasian and Diva Domitilla, Divus Titus and Julia Titi, and Domitian and Domitia (this coin).
