Nice denarius Mat! You know, after rereading the pertinent passages of Suetonius and Josephus to construct the above narrative, I've come to a...
I think it's a great idea to "pile on" the Titus'!
I think Caesarea Maritima was essentially functioning as a military mint during this time period.
Awesome coins Mikey! Your Titus was struck by Agrippa II at Caesarea Paneas.
In the immediate aftermath of the fall of Jerusalem Titus Caesar and his troops celebrated their great victory. Games were held, coins were...

Bing, you got a nice piece of history for the price! 86 AD was the year the second Dacian war was waged against the Dacians. Two imperial legates...
Fantastic coin Seth. I love the sharp details and the portrait type is very interesting!
A good range of portraits on display here between the bronze and the silver. Very nice!
