<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3472873, member: 74968&quot;]This popped up a little while ago on vcoins. I researched it and had my suspicions confirmed by [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] . It is a very rare coin of Titus as Caesar with Secvritas seated on the reverse. This coin is sometimes confused with the much more common Pax seated reverse. On FAC in David&#039;s description he mentions that the way to tell it is Secvritas is if the arm is raised. On the Pax denarii an arm is extended with a branch.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is not in BMC or RSC. There is a record for it on OCRE with 0 examples given. There are none on Coryssa or Acsearch. (There is one example each but they are pax types and not Secvritas). There are 0 on CNG. It is also not on wildwinds.</p><p><br /></p><p>One example is referenced in the new RIC II. It was sold by Lanz in 1999. There is no plate for this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imho the portrait is great. The coin obvious has a few problems but with coins this rare you have to take what you can get.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]923814[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Titus as Caesar 75 CE</p><p>20 mm 3.30 g</p><p>Obv: Head laureate r; T CAESAR IMP VESPASIAN</p><p>Rev: Securitas seated l; head resting on raised arm; PONTIF TR P COS IIII</p><p>Ric 784 (R2) [Vespasian] BMC--, RSC--</p><p>Purchased from Zurquieh on vcoins; April 18, 2019[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
