<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2355667, member: 74968&quot;]Hi All,</p><p>I find that over the last few months I am becoming more interested in the coins of Imperatorial Rome. There are some great characters represented. I picked up a portrait of Marc Antony a few weeks ago and it has got me thinking about other figures from around the same time. Since completing the 12 Caesars set I have also been on the lookout for upgrades, though I have not been in a hurry with this at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last night I was having a look through the recent offerings at Vcoins and I stumbled upon this coin. It is a coin of Titus with a prow on the reverse. I have seen examples before including within David&#039;s fantastic Flavian collection in his Forvm gallery. Well, I did not think about it for long. I snapped it up as it is an interesting coin.&nbsp; My example is not as nice as David&#039;s but I could not resist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins of Titus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Titus.
