Drusus, Restoration Issue Under Titus

Quite a few more actually. The full list is Augustus, Agrippa, Tiberius, Drusus, certain types conjectured to be of Livia, Nero Drusus, Germanicus, Agrippina, Claudius, and Galba. The idea was to relive and hopefully revive the glories of the Julio-Claudians through coinage. Notice that the "bad" emperors are conspicuously missing from Titus' output. Caligula, for instance, is not to be found.

Sadly, only the top example is my sweet coin (*rats*)

... they're both awesome (I fought for the 2nd example, but lost in an ugly auction dog-fight!!)

 

Doug is of course right. I think now that I had never realized before there would be a difference between consecration issues and restauration issues, hence a confusion in my mind

I stand corrected, thanks !
