They all have a rather large hooked nose and exaggerated jutting chin. I&#039;ve had a mind to collect his handiwork, but haven&#039;t gotten around to it yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one of his coins however.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]807013[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Titus as Caesar</b></p><p>AR Denarius, 3.10g</p><p>Rome Mint, 76 AD (Vespasian)</p><p>RIC 872 (C).
