[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4535811, member: 85693"]Nice find, David. I'm hoping for a cheap "IVD CAP" to come my way...after 30+ years it hasn't happened, but hope springs eternal. This seems like a good place to share my latest Flavian. Yesterday I got a big lot of scruffy Imperial AEs in the mail, via eBay. And to my surprise, one of them was a Titus "restitution issue" for Germanicus. This wasn't on my bucket list because it seemed out of my league. I figured it was the common Caligula issue for Germanicus, but the reverse legend was baffling me, until I started looking at Titus. I've included an enhanced photo in case folks cannot read through the pitting and wear. It looks [I]slightly[/I] better in hand, but not much.
