Titus, 24 June 79 - 13 September 81 A.D.
|Titus|, |Titus,| |24| |June| |79| |-| |13| |September| |81| |A.D.|, This counterclockwise legend variety is apparently very rare, with none on Coin Archives, and we couldn't find a single example online. Cohen and BMCRE do not identify the legend direction and the types are not included on the plates. Their examples are more likely the more common clockwise varieties. The RIC coin is from different dies.
