Hi everyone
I think this is a Titus Sestertius 71 AD. The coin is pretty worn, but it looks like the reverse shows Victoria with a shield. 7g, 20mm.

This isn't a sestertius, but actually a smaller provincial denomination. I think you are right, it is Titus, but issued in Judea as part of the Capta series. More interesting in my opinion!
