Some really nice iconic Flavians you have there. Congrats! I noticed you are mixing old and new RIC II catalogue numbers and misattributed the...
We sure do. Which of course illustrates just how rare the type is!
Fantastic acquisition! And you are correct, it is a very rare type for Titus Caesar. I like the portrait on your example better than the one on...

Oh yes, that is indeed a 'strange' one! What really is odd is Buttrey's dismissal of your coin as 'barbarous' and readily accepting mine as...
