Apparently the same coin listed twice by Varbanov in error. 668: Varbanov cites and illustrates Elsen 71, 20 Sept. 2001, 796. Same dies as yours....
A very similar Caracalla AE 17-18, probably same dies: Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov, Coins of Nicopolis, 2012 ed., p. 221, 2nd and 3rd coin from bottom....
Nice left-facing portrait? Though that is not unusual on Titus asses....
Mike, Gary's coin omitting the name of the goddess, with legends just ANTONINVS - AVG PIVS P P / TR POT - COS III, is a very rare variant, as he...
Your assignment of the sestertius rev. types to one emperor or the other on the basis of the specimen counts in Banti is nicely confirmed by the...
If the coin were mine I would strip it, in the expectation of bringing out a lot more detail!
Salaethus, Neat detail of spear forming exergue line! Apparently same rev. die as BMC 1603, pl. 87.6. Mattingly overlooked the detail in...
Blake, I'm not sure if I've told you before, but I know only one other spec. of your DII PATRII sestertius, in Paris, EF/VF, from the same dies....

Henrik Möller then immediately observed a shared obv. die between a RESTITVTOR MON dupondius and TR P VIII Consular Quadriga of 229, refuting my...
Your thinking is correct: definitely an As, though a heavy one, because of the small portrait and diameter. The rev. type may have to remain...

I'd appreciate it! For instructions, see my thread Making Plaster Casts of Coins on Forum, made sticky under Coin Photography.
My summary of Weiss's arguments posted on Forum in 2007: I agree with Jochen that a fundamental advance in this question was made by Peter Weiss,...
Doug, There is a good chance that your Septimius RESTITVTOR VRBIS As was struck for distribution as a New Year's present on 1 Jan. 200 or 201....
Both Vespasian and Titus Caesar are called ΦΛAYI on Alexandrian tetradrachms of Vespasian's Year 1, RPC 2401-10 and 2405 (rev.). For Titus Caesar...
