<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3570868, member: 82616&quot;]I received this fetching Titus Caesar <i>as </i>last week along with the Vespasian dupondius I have already posted. It&#039;s another Ex Reusing Collection coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951099[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Titus as Caesar</b></p><p>Æ As, 10.28g</p><p>Rome mint, 73 AD (Vespasian)</p><p>RIC 627 (R).

This variant with Pax leaning on a column was a perennial favourite. Pax&#039;s popularity on the coinage can perhaps be explained by Vespasian&#039;s construction of the Temple of Peace which was completed in 75.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reusing purchased this coin from the Munich coin shop O.
