The same rev. is normal in the reign of Domitian and was regarded by A.M. Woodward, 'The cistophoric series and its place in the Roman Coinage', Essays Mattingly, p. 157, as a hybrid caused by the survival of a die of Titus after his death, since he thought it unlikely that the restauration of the temple would be celebrated before its completion. This seems, however, quite possible. See H. Jucker, 'Capitalism Restitutum', Jahrb. Bern. Hist. Museum 39-40 (1959-60), pp. 289-93. For the decoration of the pediment, see 867/1.
