[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 7808135, member: 82616"]My latest coin is nothing too fancy, just a workmanlike bronze of Titus Caesar struck in 74 AD. RIC lists it as 'rare'. [ATTACH=full]1341088[/ATTACH] [B]Titus as Caesar[/B] Æ As, 10.00g Rome mint, 74 AD Obv: T CAESAR IMP COS III CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r. Rev: AEQVITAS AVGVST; S C in field; Aequitas stg. l., with scales and rod RIC 749 (R). BMC -. BNC 731. Acquired from Civitas Galleries, July 2021. Aequitas holding her scales and measuring rod was probably based on a cult image of the deity. She first shows up as an imperial virtue on the coinage under Galba. Not a common type for Titus Caesar. Missing from the BM collection. The rich dark copper toning is quite fetching in hand. Feel free to post your toned beauties.[/QUOTE]
