"Here I am Father, Here I am."

An absolutely wonderful coin---it's easy to see why it's one of your favorites....

My denarius of Titus is a bit more 'common' and budget friendly (LOL) ----although I'm quite fond of the reverse.

I think it's interesting to note that Titius was not very popular while still acting as the 'right-hand man' of his father Vespasian, being known as a bit ruthless---and he inherited all those remaining problems stemming from the recent civil war, let alone the1st Jewish revolt, and then had to deal with the eruption of Vesuvius.....then becoming quite popular until his untimely death---and doubtlessly greatly lamented with the ascension of Domitian....

 

Your reverse is upside down I think Mikey. Nice coin, common or not.

 

Oops, That's what I get for trying to take a photo without wearing my glasses LOL

Hmmm, Looks better upside down

 

Thank you for the history lesson. I truly enjoyed reading it.

 

Great addition!
