RIC 124c Titus (2)
AR Denarius, 3.35g
Rome Mint 80 AD
Obv: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P; Seat, draped; above, triangular frame with nine palmettes, lituus within triangle
RIC 124c (C2). BMC 62. RSC 313a. BNC 50. 
Acquired from M. Veissid & Co., eBay, April 2017.

A rare variant of this common 'pulvinar' type showing a lituus within the triangle. Perhaps one in ten dies have this variant. The upcoming RIC II.1 Addenda notes that some specimens may show a lituus. 

This denarius was struck possibly to commemorate the religious ceremonies connected to the opening games of the Colosseum. 

Nice bull-necked portrait struck on a large flan and well centred. One of my favourite portrait types.
