<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 4335769, member: 82616&quot;]It sure is. Vespasian&#039;s moneyer&#039;s copied many antiquarian types from the past on his denarii. This type which echoes the &#039;Livia&#039; reverse struck for Tiberius had to be altered somewhat, but it&#039;s still quite recognisable.</p><p><br /></p><p>This same &#039;Livia&#039; type was also struck for Titus Caesar with a different obverse legend, which opened the door for a few rare mules. The ones struck for Titus of course would not normally have PONTIF MAXIM on the reverse!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1099201[/ATTACH]<b>Titus as Caesar Mule</b></p><p>AR, Denarius, 3.25g</p><p>Rome mint, 73 AD (Vespasian)</p><p>Obv: T CAES IMP - VESP CEN; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: PONTIF MAXIM; Vespasian std. r. on curule chair, with sceptre and branch</p><p>RIC 553 (R).
