A really nice Titus set Doug. The COS V bull denarius is quite rare and an eastern 'o' mint type I lack.
The 'delight and darling of the human race' was born this day in 39 AD. Here's a coin of Titus that for some reason struck my fancy today....
Your top 4 are hard to beat. Wonderful coins!!
I see a lovely coin squeaked in under the wire Z. Congrats and Happy new Year!
I like all of them, but your Octavian denarius is a stand out!
A nice way to end the year. Congrats!
All of them are fantastic, but your Vespasian RIC 49 quadriga is something very special. It's so rare that the authors of the new RIC had to use...
Merry Christmas CT pals!

JA, when you get the chance check out Kevin Butcher's Coinage in Roman Syria. It's not so much of a catalogue as it's more about history and...

Thanks Mikey! All the best to you this Holiday Season.

Also what is really interesting is the fact the mint master had the reverse die reengraved instead of producing a brand new die. Perhaps news of...
In late summer 92 AD an issue of denarii were struck for Domitian with an exceedingly rare dating combination of TR P XI and IMP XXII. A few dies...
We all have our vices, at least you have a beautiful coin to go along with yours. Congrats!
