    Imperial Age Denar 79-81 AD
    Kwaliteit: Fine patina. VF | Afcortingen
    Catalogus: RIC 16 (R2), Kampmann 22.70.
    Weight: 3.28 g

    Denar 79 AD, Rome. (rare ). IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M. Head with laurel wreath n. L. // TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII Venus, naked back, standing n. Right, left elbow supported on column, holds helmet and spear. Provenance: From an old private collection. RIC 16 (R2), Kampmann 22.70. 3.28 g.

    The denarii lacking 'P P' at the end of the reverse legend are very rare. Out of the seven possible denarii types struck with that reverse legend , the left facing portrait with the Venus reverse.

    Titus hadn't yet been awarded the title Pater Patriae (P P) by the Senate when the issue was struck. A very early issue to be sure!

    Thanks for the information

    what a beauty
