[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 24486170, member: 87809"]Several CTers have shared their Titus denarius with Venus reverse. Finally, I was able to win one - it certainly is quite worn, legends are partially incomplete on both sides; but I'm happy to own one. haven't received it yet and the description only says the diameter, not the weight. Will weigh it when I receive it. The strange thing is that I don't agree with the sellers description and attribution, which is: RIC II.1, 34 and legend on the reverse TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII PP. In my opinion it is RIC II.1, 15 because there is no “PP” on the reverse legend. The legend is TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII and it was struck before he was named PP. What do you think? Rome, 79 AD, after July 1st RIC II.1 (2nd edition), 15; RSC 268; BMC 255; RCV 2448; 18 mm, 5h Ob.: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG (PM), laureate head of Titus to r. Rev.: TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII Venus Callipyge, seen half from behind, nude to hips, standing r., resting l. elbow on column, spear in l. hand, helmet in outstretched right [ATTACH=full]1550102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1550103[/ATTACH] Please share your Titus denarii with Venus - they are lovely - or anything relevant.[/QUOTE]
