OTD: 81 CE a death, 17 years earlier a birth/ The sad story of Titus and Julia

[Ryro]

In one of those, sad, funny and cruel twists of fate that the Olympians love to surprise us with, 17 years, to the day after the birth of his only child Julia Flavius, poetically with plans to celebrate his beloved daughters birthday Titus Vespasianus died of a fever.

Titus is well known for his wars with the Judeans, being the lucky man to have Mount Vesuvius erupt during his reign and dedicating his father's coliseum. 

Julia's life didn't fair any better as it was rumored that, after her father's death, her deranged uncle Domitian would force himself on her, before her suicide within a decade of her father's death. 

Enough with the humor. Let's see the coins!

The Flavian men were many things; intelligent, charismatic, strong, witty. But one thing they weren't was handsome:

Titus was very much the spitting image of his father (or pissing image if you're aware of the smell of urine).

The entire Flavian dynasty (sadly, I was foolish enough to sell this one):

Vespasian, savior of the empire after the year of the four emperors.

Even professionals get the busts of Vespasian and Titus mixed up, good thing us coiniacs have the letter "T" to tell us whoes whom:

Of course I love any thread that celebrates my beloved Flavian dynasty!

However, I'll take this opportunity to show off a sestertius struck by Domitian for Diva Julia Titi and attempt to debunk some of the ancient gossip surrounding their relationship.

 

Diva Julia Titi [Domitian]

Æ Sestertius, 24.33g
Rome mint, 92-94 AD
Obv: DIVAE IVLIAE AVG DIVI TITI F above; S P Q R in exergue; Carpentum drawn r. by two mules

Titus' daughter Julia Titi was granted the title Augusta sometime in 80 or 81 during his reign. After Titus' death she lived with her uncle Domitian at the imperial residence. In 90 or 91 AD she died and was deified by Domitian, this was commemorated on the coinage. The ancient sources are quick to malign her reputation in the name of smearing Domitian. It is said she had an ongoing affair with Domitian and became pregnant. She then was forced by Domitian to abort the baby and died during the attempted abortion sometime in 90 or 91. The Flavian historian Brian Jones has called the supposed affair between Domitian and his niece Julia (some ten or eleven years his junior) and the subsequent forced abortion which killed her as "implausible" and "nonsense". Further he wrote "Scholars seem not to have stressed one of the most significant factors in assessing the rumour's accuracy - Martial's epigram 6.3, written not long after Julia's death and deification. In it, he expresses the hope that Domitian will produce a son, implies that the baby's name will be Julius (6.3.1) and states that (the now deified) Julia will be able to watch over him (6.3.5). Martial was neither a hero or a fool. Had there been the slightest hint of an affair between emperor and niece, he would hardly have written those lines; had Julia's recent death been caused by an abortion forced on her by Domitian, would Martial have so far neglected the bounds of 'safe criticism' and common sense as to humiliate Domitia publicly, urging her to become pregnant, to give the child a name reminiscent of her husband's mistress and finally to remember that same mistress, now dead and deified (thanks to her husband), would be able to protect the child?" No doubt, the Diva coins testify that Domitian felt great affection towards his niece, however, there is no evidence that they had an illicit love affair. The incestuous rumour was safely spread after Domitian's death.

This sestertius struck for Diva Julia Titi between 92 and 94 copies an early carpentum and mules type struck under Tiberius for Diva Livia and another under Titus struck for her grandmother Domitilla. It is the second issue of this type struck under Domitian and is slightly rarer than the earlier one produced in 90-91. In the early empire the carpentum was granted to ladies of the imperial house by the Senate as an imperial honour. It was frequently used to convey an image of the deceased Divae and to symbolise the event on the coinage. The style of the Diva Julia Titi sestertii are so similar to those of the earlier Memoriae Domitilla sestertii that the RIC authors speculate a few of the older Domitilla dies were recut for Julia's issues (p. 317, note). It's astonishing to think that the mint still had access to dies that were nearly a decade old and were able to re-use them for a new issue!

Cool thread. I was never that into collecting the Flavians, save for Domitian.  Most of my scant holdings are unphotographed.  I think I have an As of the Domitian Secular games, a past present.

Here's some mostly scarce yet decrepit Flavians of mine:

DOMITIAN AE orichalcum sestertius. Struck 81-82 AD shortly following Domitian's accession, at a Balkan mint probably located in Bithynia. IMP DOMITIAN CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS, laureate head right. Reverse - Mars, helmeted, naked except for cloak over left shoulder, advancing right, holding transverse spear in right hand and trophy in left, large SC in fields. RIC II 449 (Lugdunum), BMCRE II 517 (Lugdunum), RPC II 531 (Thracian Mint, 3 examples known to RPC), CBN 552 (Bithynia). Large 36mm flan, 23.7g.

[Spaniard]

@Ryro.....Nice write up thanks and cool coins!

The best I can do is this sweetly toning Domitian...

[DonnaML]

Here is my one coin of Julia Titi:

Julia Titi Flavia (daughter of Titus), AE Dupondius 80-81 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Draped bust right with hair bundled high in front and coiled in chignon high in back, IVLIA IMP T AVG F AVGVSTA/ Rev. Vesta seated left, holding palladium in right hand and long transverse scepter in left arm, VESTA below, S C across fields. RIC II.1 398 at. p. 223 (Titus) (2007 ed.), old RIC II 180 (Titus) (1926 ed.), Sear RCV I 2617 (ill.), BMCRE Titus 257. 26 mm., 12.23 g., 6 h.*

*According to David Sear (RCV I at p. 480), Julia Titi was born "about AD 65," so she would have been only about 14 or 15 when this coin was issued, during her father's lifetime, after she was granted the title of Augusta. (See the obverse inscription for both those facts.)

As I discussed in a post on Coin Talk a couple of years ago, as much as I like the coin plates (many in color) in the book Women of the Caesars by Giorgio Giacosa (published in English translation in 1977 from the Italian book first published in 1960), I think the author's repeated efforts to judge the characters of various empresses and other royal women by their appearances on particular coins often come across as somewhat peculiar and extremely misogynistic, even for the era. As impassioned as his efforts may have been. For example, this type of Julia Titi dupondius is Plate XX in the book. At page 40, he calls it "the only coin of Julia that has iconographical interest." After stating that she was only 12 or 13 when the coin was issued (a low estimate), the author states that "The passion for her thirty-year old uncle which would change her life in such a tragic way began then in her adoloscent mind. Even if among the Romans, as among all southern people, women matured rather early, the face of this coin is still the fat and insignificant countenance of a little girl. Her complicated hairstyle, the first of those fantastic and complicated hairdos adopted by Julia during her short life, does not make her look grown up." He then describes the hairstyle at great length. To be fair, he does state that Julia's coins do not do her justice, because "statues and cameos show us a beautiful and refined woman," even though the "taste of the period demanded buxom women, and in all her portraits Julia conforms."

As I also discussed in that thread, this constitutes unalloyed praise next to the author's commentary, on the next page, about an aureus showing Domitian and Domitia. He argues that "a couple as odious in appearance as this does not exist in all Roman iconography." Specifically regarding Domitia, he states that her face "is less fearsome and bestial" than Domitian's, "but just as cold and hateful." Below her hair -- which he says might be a wig -- there "appears the heavy and capricious face of a virago to whom the engraver, out of spite, has given the same features as Domitian." Thus, her face "takes on, in the eye of the observer, an equivocal unnatural element which makes one think more of a transvestite than a woman." To me, she just looks a little chubby and plain! Talk about basing broad conclusions on slender evidence.

In any event, here is my one coin depicting Domitia, a Provincial from Anazarbus in Cilicia that also depicts her husband on the obverse. @Roman Collector has posted the same type.

Domitian and Domitia, AE 22.7, 93/94 AD, Cilicia, Anazarbus. Obv. Laureate head of Domitian to right, AYTO KAI ΘΕ YI ΔOMITIANOC CE ΓEP around from upper right / Rev.
