<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2422569, member: 82616&quot;]My latest arrival is a denarius of Titus as Caesar I thought I had already added to my collection many years ago when Harry Sneh was sending me Flavian goodies on a regular basis. As it happened, after checking my records I was missing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]502237[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Titus as Caesar</b></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Rome Mint, 73 AD</p><p>RIC V556 (C), BMC V116, RSC 169</p><p>Obv: T CAES IMP VESP CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: PONTIF TRI POT; Titus std. r. on curule chair, with sceptre and branch</p><p><br /></p><p>A reverse type which copies the famous &#039;Tribute Penny&#039; reverse of Tiberius, but instead of a female figure we see Titus seated. The type was correspondingly struck for Vespasian which resulted in many rare mules. This denarius actually has the correct legends for Titus Caesar. Unusually for Rome it has a twelve o&#039;clock die axis.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oddly enough, I had already acquired the rare mules accidentally struck for Titus Caesar from this issue but had failed to add the more common correct one. I think it&#039;s a decent example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
