Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4283910, member: 96898"]That's a very good portrait on your as, [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER] – I like it! For me, too, Titus was the last Flavian emperor I added to my collection. I got a denarius for him as Caesar: [ATTACH=full]1090065[/ATTACH]Titus (under Vespasian), Roman Empire, denarius, 75–79 AD, Rome mint. Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS, laureate head right. Rev: IOVIS CVSTOS, Jupiter standing left, holding patera and sceptre; altar at left. 19mm, 3.2g. Ref: RIC II Vespasian 176. Ex Sphinx Numismatics. Apart from that, I have a Titus as in admittedly wretched condition. I bought it as a sort of curiosity for about $5. It is from the collection of the famous classicist Hildebrecht Hommel and came with a handwritten ticket that Hommel apparently made from recycled correspondence. The ticket has his name on the back, probably from an address line or similar. [ATTACH=full]1090063[/ATTACH]Titus, Roman Empire, AE as, 80–81 AD, Rome mint. Obv: IMP T CAES VESP AVG [TR P COS] VIII, bust of Titus, laureate, l. Rev: AETERNIT [AVG or AVGVST], Aeternitas standing r., foot on globe, holding sceptre and cornucopia; in field, S-C. 27mm, 10.52g. Ref: RIC II Titus 218 or 220. Ex Hildebrecht Hommel collection, ex Busso Peus Nf., auction 422, part of lot 453. [ATTACH=full]1090064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
