[QUOTE="Eng, post: 2088480, member: 44227"]Some of you are working on the 12 Caesars and some have all 12 in Gold, Silver, i don't have all 12. this is the 11th. coin, not in any order, but the 12th will be the hardest for me, which is Otho. I'm doing them in Bronze. i just pick up Tiberius, after a couple Months wait. So post any Tiberius or S-C or any of the 12 Caesars coins you have... Tiberius 80-81..AD. AE, As. Restoration Series by Titus. Obv. bare head of Tiberius left. Rev. large S-C single legend on Rev. 26mm x 10.3g. Lite brown patina.. Sellers notes and photo,much better in hand.. This is one rare occasions where a coin was struck posthumously for an Emperor who was not other wise defied. Titus(Vespasian's Son) commissioned a board Comm. a series in 80 AD. issuing coinage of all his good predecessors- not only Emperors but family members like Drusus, Agrippa and Germanicus. This Series faithfully reproduced coinage struck over the past century and all are very stylistically similar to the originals. the only difference was the addition to the legion on the Rev. side, which would name Titus as Emperor and mention the restoration in some fashion.
