Found a Titus AS

I was going to post my AE Vespasian along side Ro1974's spectacular Vespasian Dupodius in another thread. I had purchased it about a year ago, took pics that I hadn't edited, got busy, and filed the coin away without attributing it because the person I purchased it from had already attributed it. So...tonight I am looking closer at it and I realize it that ain't no Vespasian!!! There is "T" between IMP & CAES. Plain as day. It's a TITUS!!

Feel free to post your Titus coins, but I would rather see and hear about any coins that you had a major mis-attribution incident with Or am I the only one???

Very nice coin @TJC

Here is my only Titus. 0 in the Reka Devnia hoard.

 

My only Titus As , with desert patina.

 

Great addition!

 

Cool Bronze!!!!

Like many of us, I've had a few minor attribution issues, mostly typo or careless RIC listings but nothing too serious as far as I know.

I seem to have quite a few examples of Dad and younger brother but I keep missing out on TITUS, although I have this provincial----a budget version of the 'Judea Capa' type....

 

I have a Sestertius of Titus as Augustus:



IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P PP COS VIII / ANNONA AVG
Sestertius, Rome 80
33 mm / 18,91 gr
RIC 86, C 16

 

So no Titus...but here's one that I bought as a Phillip but turned out to be Lysimachus


Lysimachus, Kingdom of Thrace, BC 323-305
AE, 5g, 17mm; 5h; BC 317-305
Obv.: laureate head of Apollo right
Rev.: ΦΙΛΙ[ΠΠΟΥ]; horseman riding right; ΛΥ beneath horse left, lion forepart right (protome of lion)

 

Cool color on the op coin!

 

I've always loved the coins of Titus!

 

kool coin! i have several denari and a couple of as's that are in question too on Titus or Vespasian. i'll take and post a pic of'em on here today and see what you think

 

I put this one away as low grade Tiberius As for Drusus. Only realized much later it ain't. It is in fact a restitution issue struck under Titus.

I don't know how I neglected to examine the reverse and see the words RES(T).
oh well.....

Drusus. Died AD 23. As. Restitution issue. Rome. Struck under Titus, AD 80-81.
Obv: DRVSVS CAESAR TI AVG F DIVI AVG N, bare head left
Rev: IMP T • CAES • DIVI • VESP • F • AVG • REST • around large S • C. RIC II 437 (Titus)

 

Besides the above, I have a few other issues for Titus in my collection:


Titus As - Spes.



Titus As - Victoria Navalis



Titus As - Judaea Capta

 

Some denarii for Titus:

Titus denarius - Venus

 

This Otho Alexandrian TET was sold to me as a Galba, not much readable legend on obverse but the T behind Otho's neck gives it away, as there isn't one on Galba's obverse legend. Roman Egypt, Otho, Emmett 184, 12.60gm.

 

kool

 

View attachment 579500 View attachment 579500 i bought this as a Titus but i think its a Vespasian

 

Nice coin, hard to tell their might be a faded/worn T before the CAES on the obverse.

 

you know, now that you mentioned it, there does seem to be a T there. it was supposed to be minted in 73-74 and now i again believe it was.

 

thanks! that's what is was supposed to be.
