<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 4082887, member: 82616&quot;]I was attracted to this worn Titus Caesar As because of the affordable price ... and because it&#039;s fairly rare. It was overlooked by more discerning collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1064694[/ATTACH]<b>Titus as Caesar</b></p><p>Æ As, 8.02g</p><p>Rome mint, 74 AD (Vespasian)</p><p>Obv: T CAESAR IMP COS III CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: VICTORIA AVGVST; S C in field; Victory stg. r. on prow, with wreath and palm</p><p>RIC 753 (R).

This Victory type was a popular generic design with the prow possibly lending a nautical theme, perhaps alluding to a successful ongoing Flavian naval policy. It was sparingly struck for this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your less than eye-catching rarities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
