RIC 0753 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]
Æ As, 8.02g
Rome mint, 74 AD  
Obv: T CAESAR IMP COS III CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev:  VICTORIA AVGVST; S C in field; Victory stg. r. on prow, with wreath and palm
RIC 753 (R). BMC p. 163 †. BNC 734.
Acquired from London Ancient Coins, January 2020.

A rare variant of the common Victory on prow struck in 74. Missing from the BM's collection. This Victory type was a fairly popular generic design with the prow possibly lending a nautical theme, perhaps alluding to a successful ongoing Flavian naval policy. It was sparingly struck for this issue.

Well centred on good metal.
