This coin features Titus as Caesar. I love the very expressive portrait on this one. A nice bonus is that it once belonged to @Sallent and came to me through an auction held by our own John Anthony. It is also ex: Ken Dorney. So this coin was once in the possession of 3 different Cointalkers. I am very pleased to add this coin to my collection. Let us see your coins of Titus. Titus as Caesar AR Denarius 74 CE (19 mm 3.2 g) Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESP; Laureate head of Titus right Rev: PONTIF TR P COS III; Titus seated right on curule chair holding scepter and olive branch RIC 692 [VESP]; RSC 161a; BMC- From the Sallent Collection, ex-Ken Dorney
GREAT obverse! His Mother would say.... "OH, he looks SO much like his Dad!" LOL. Congrats on the capture, Andrew!

Beautiful Titus Andrew! That portrait is indeed very good. I love the look of Titus, with that stern frowning face.
Titus AE As. AD 80. IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P COS VIII, laureate head left / PAX AVGVST S-C, Pax standing left, holding branch and caduceus.
Very nice addition @Orfew! Many of his portraits display a fearsome forehead, here's one of my favorites.
Wow @Nemo that is a stunner. I have been looking for a nice RIC 131 for a while. I love the ravens on this one.
Titus looks very grumpy. A very interesting portrait indeed, @Orfew ! I love to show (off ) my coin of Titus, with the reverse that refers to the Flavian theatre. It's one of my favorites in my collection.
Great coin, I just have one Titus so far: Titus, A.D. 79-81 Billon Tetradrachm, 25mm, 9.3 grams, 12h EGYPT, Alexandria. Year 3 = A.D. 81 Obverse: AVTOK TITOY KAIE OVEEPAEIANOY EEB; Laureate head right. Reverse: OMO-NOIA; Homonoia seated left, holding out branch, LT in lower left field.
