[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 3678346, member: 82616"]My thoughts on the matter as we previously discussed: There is no easy answer to this problem. The conventional wisdom states the mint shuttered in mid 80 because it was damaged to some degree during the great fire of Rome that summer. The Titus/Domitian mule, plus the fact the mint was instantly up and running for Domitian from day one, sit uneasily with that traditional view. Personally, I believe the answer lies with the bronze coinage of Titus, which may very well have been struck right up until Titus' death.[/QUOTE]
