My latest acquisition, depicting the Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheater). This particular type is understood to have been minted to commemorate the first ever games at the Colosseum and was handed out by the emperor Titus to the first spectators. This is one of only six examples of this earliest die available to private collectors (with the remaining handful of pieces permanently in museums). There are no other surviving contemporary depictions of the Colosseum in any other medium as it stood when first built.
