From the S & S Collection.

In AD 79, Vespasian died and Titus became sole emperor. One of his first official acts was to raise his daughter Julia to the rank of Augusta, or Empress, the first woman in more than a decade to hold that exalted position. He struck this lovely coin for the occasion. Julia thus became the first reigning Roman empress to be honored with a regular issue of Roman coins struck solely in her own name.
