AR Denarius
Rome mint, 79 AD
RIC 41 (R2), BMCRE p. 227 note, RSC 287a
Obv - IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, l.
Rev - TR P VIIII IMP XV COS VII P P; Ceres std. l., with corn ears and poppy and torch
VF
This is a rare portrait left of this IMP XV Ceres reverse type. It is foot noted in BMCRE and only one specimen is cited in RIC from Belgrade (not pictured in plates).
All the coins from this series are a bit rarer than other series minted by Titus, and those with left facing portraits are even scarcer! A good coin in decent metal and style.
