Q.TITI

The denarius of the Gens Titia, struck in 90 BC by Quintus Titius, is distinguished by its singular iconography. The obverse features the bearded and winged head of Mutinus Titinus, an archaic protective deity associated with fertility and marriage. The reverse depicts Pegasus taking flight from a pedestal or tablet bearing the legend Q. TITI. This issue, produced during the tense period of the Social War, illustrates the rich mythological symbols used by moneyers to honor their lineage. Off-center reverse.
