Coins issued by the moneyer Lucius Titurius Sabinus (legate in 75 BC), a member of the gens Tituria, distinguish three 'Sabine' types - all alluding to ancient episodes from Roman history. The moneyer's cognomen (also used by other gentes) emphasises positive Sabine elements (i.e. trustworthiness) still present in Roman society - aspiring politicians for instance, often exploited traditional virtues and values to strengthen their powers.

The reverse type of this denarius alludes to the legendary Rape of the Sabine women c. 753 BC, the traditional date for the founding of Rome. The reverse depicts Roman soldiers carrying off Sabine women during the games staged by Romulus to secure women as wives for his people. Eventually, after reconciliation between the Sabines and the Romans, Romulus, together with Titus Tatius, legendary Sabine king, ruled jointly over the combined peoples.
