I received this fetching Titus Caesar as last week along with the Vespasian dupondius I have already posted. It's another Ex Reusing Collection coin. Titus as Caesar Æ As, 10.28g Rome mint, 73 AD (Vespasian) RIC 627 (R). BMC p. 153 note. Obv: T CAES IMP PON TR P COS II CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r. Rev: PAX AVGVST; S C in field; Pax stg. l., leaning on column, with caduceus and branch Acquired from Olding, MA Shops, May 2019 = Olding, List 96, March 2019, Sammlung Fritz Reusing, no. 164. From the collection of Fritz Reusing (1874-1956), acquired from O. Helbing of Munich, 1929; inherited and continued by Reusing's nephew Paul Schürer (1890-1976). Pax in various guises and types was struck repeatedly throughout Vespasian's reign for both himself and Titus Caesar. This variant with Pax leaning on a column was a perennial favourite. Pax's popularity on the coinage can perhaps be explained by Vespasian's construction of the Temple of Peace which was completed in 75. Reusing purchased this coin from the Munich coin shop O. Helbing in 1929.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I have several more Reusing coins to share in the coming days - one particular piece with a bust that I believe Reusing as a portrait painter would fancy very much!
