Titus with a “Pulvinar” (an empty throne/Imperial Box/couch for images of the Gods) showing a winged thunderbolt, which represents Jupiter. Jupiter was considered “King of the God’s” in Ancient Rome. A nummismatist has set forward the idea that the Titus Pulvinar denarius was struck to honour Jupiter with a throne to watch the opening 100 days of gladiatorial games in the Colosseum.
