<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3099044, member: 82616&quot;]There is a very good reason for this - under Titus, PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS (The first of youths) would only apply to Domitian as Caesar. So, any coin featuring Titus on the obverse with this reverse legend is a hybrid/mule.</p><p><br /></p><p>My hunch is it&#039;s an unofficial hybrid. The weight and size are a bit off for it to be official. Regardless, a very interesting piece to be sure!</p><p><br /></p><p>However, officially produced mules are not unheard of under Titus. I have this very rare mule featuring Titus on the obverse paired with a reverse intended for Divus Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]784029[/ATTACH]<b>Titus</b></p><p>AR Denarius, 3.30g</p><p>Rome mint, 79-80 AD</p><p>RIC 368 (R3).
