<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 26333995, member: 82616&quot;]I&#039;ve always wanted an example of this elusive DIVO Titus reverse type. Depictions of the Divine Titus on the coinage are extremely rare during the Flavian era, especially those showing him in full military dress. When this Judaean example showed up on eBay a couple of months ago, I couldn&#039;t hit the &quot;buy now&quot; button fast enough! Most of these come in a fairly worn state because of poor metal quality. The near &quot;VF&quot; condition of this coin is quite exceptional.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1681053[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Domitian</b></p><p>Æ24, 14.40g</p><p>Caesarea Maritima mint, 81-82 AD</p><p>Obv: IMP DOMITIANVS CAESAR DIVI F AVG; Head of Domitian, laureate, r.</p><p>Rev: DIVOS T AVG; Titus in military dress standing facing, head r., holding spear in r. hand, parazonium in l. hand</p><p>RPC 2301 (3 spec.).

This divus Titus type was struck early in Domitian&#039;s reign soon after Titus&#039; death. Titus is depicted in full military attire, a reminder of his commanding role during the Jewish War. An extremely rare type. Struck on a thick flan.</p><p><br /></p><p>In hand.</p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/KsJbGXrHMjw?si=MfuVnStNNRXowlwo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://youtube.com/shorts/KsJbGXrHMjw?si=MfuVnStNNRXowlwo" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/shorts/KsJbGXrHMjw?si=MfuVnStNNRXowlwo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
