[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 4535458, member: 74968"]This is a scarce coin in any condition. I have wanted a Flavian Cisto for some time but I always thought my first one would be a coin of Domitian. I had been watching this coin until last night's Heritage auction and I decided I wanted it. The price was great and there did not seem to be too much competition. I surmise this is because this slab does not have the magic letters AU or MS. Anyway, I really like the portrait of Titus and it has an interesting reverse used by other notables including Nero. Please feel free to post anything you think may be relevant. [ATTACH=full]1123001[/ATTACH] Titus (AD 79-81). AR cistophorus (26mm, 7h). Rome, AD 80-81.
