RIC 359a Divus Vespasian [Titus]
AR Denarius, 3.04g
Rome Mint, 79-80 AD  
Obv: DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: Column mounted by shield and topped by urn, flanked by two laurels; in field, EX, on shield, S C
RIC 359a (C). BMC 124. RSC 149. BNC 98.
Ex JW Harper Collection; acquired from Palmyra Heritage.

This Divus Vespasian type comes in two variations: One variant with E and X flanking the column as seen here; the other with E and X flanking the urn, which is slightly less common. RIC makes a distinction between the two in the plates as 'a' and 'b' but does not assign them their own catalogue numbers.

Worn, but in good metal with the major devices still intact.
