    Well... I received my 1st Titus 74 AD yesterday. Its badly worn but I was able to ID it as RIC 751.
    Obverse - T CAESAR IMP COS III CENS

    The reverse is supposed to be Spies but is obliterated. At any rate, I like it. :smile

    I would have guessed someone tried to tool it into a Colosseum type.
