JULIA TITI (Augusta, 79-90/1). Denarius. Rome. Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA TITI AVGVSTI F. Draped bust right.Rev: VENVS AVGVST. Venus standing right, back facing, leaning upon column to left, holding helmet and sceptre.RIC² 388 (Titus).Flavia Julia Augusta, known as Iulia Titi, was the only daughter of Emperor Titus and his second wife Marcia Furnilla. Very little is known about her, except that when she was still a child she was presented as the future successor of the Flavian dynasty, since her father, after his second divorce, had not taken another wife and the other women of the family (Domitilla Major and Domitilla Minor) had already died. When Titus came to power, Julia was given the title of Augusta, which was usually attributed to the emperor's wife. Titus proposed to his brother Domitian to marry Julia, but Domitian refused because he was in love with Domitia Longina. Julia therefore married her cousin, Titus Flavius Sabinus. Upon the death of his father (AD 81), Domitian became emperor and, after repudiating Domitia on suspicion of adultery, it seems that he began a relationship with Julia and had Sabinus killed. Julia died in abortion in 90, precluding her from providing an heir to the emperor. Condition: Near very fine.Weight: 3.16 g. Diameter: 20 mm.

This denarius, struck during Augustus' seventh tribunicia potestas, commemorates the renovation of the Via Flaminia (27 BC), a road that ran from the Porta Fontinalis gate in the Servian Wall to Aquileia. For the occasion, a series of silver and gold coins were issued to celebrate the event, highlighting the fact that Augustus had paid for the renovation out of his own pocket.
On the reverse, the cippus bears the inscription “S(enatus) P(opulusque) R(omanum), Imp(eratori) Caes(ari), quod v(iae) m(unitae) s(unt) ex ea p(ecunia) q(uam) is ad a(erarium) d(etulit)” (= by decision of the Senate and the Roman people, to the Emperor and Caesar, for having reinforced the roads with funds he paid to the public treasury) and refers to Augustus' donation to the treasury of the sum of money necessary for the renovation of the Via Flaminia, as narrated by Cassius Dio and the emperor himself in the ‘Res Gestae’.
The memorial stone probably really existed and was erected in Rome to celebrate the event.

This issue is among the first to bear witness to Tiberius' adoption and Augustus' decision to name him as his heir.
The issue of succession was crucial for Augustus in order to consolidate his legacy. Having had no children with Livia Drusilla, he initially adopted his nephews Gaius and Lucius, sons of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia, presenting them to the people as his designated heirs and conferring upon them extraordinary titles and powers for their young age. However, the premature death of his two grandsons (between 2 and 4 AD) and of Agrippa forced Augustus to revise his plans, and so he adopted Tiberius, the son of Livia and her previous husband, Tiberius Claudius Nero. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.74 g. Diameter: 20 mm.
