Almost immediately upon and after they respectively posted their coins, I came across an example that fit my budget while still having sufficient eye-appeal to grab my interest. Since my birth sign is Capricorn, I couldn&#039;t resist the Titus commemorative on FAC, especially with that superb portrait---- and I&#039;ve been after a coin with a Melqart portrait for quite a long while now and just had to have this example offered by CNG.</p><p><br /></p><p>AR denarius of Vespasian, commemorative issued by Titus circa 80-81 AD;</p><p>Rome mint, 3.32 grams, 18.5 mm; Ric II part I, Titus 357; RSC II 497.</p><p>Laureate head right (of Vespasian)</p><p>DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS.</p><p>Two Capricorns supporting shield with S C, globe below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]540837[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Tetradrachm of Trajan; Tyre, Phoenicia, struck 103-109 AD; 24mm, 14.51 grams.</p><p>Laureate head of Trajan right above Eagle standing right, club to left.</p><p>Laureate bust of Melqart-Hercules right with lion&#039;s skin draped around neck.</p><p>Prieur 1495, McAlee 455</p><p>[ATTACH=full]540838[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
