Titus RIC II 0109
|
Titus 79-81 A.D. AR Denarius. Rome Mint. 80 , 1 Jan.-30 June A.D. (2.91gm 18.9mm 6h). Obv: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG PM, laureate head left. Rev: TRP IX IMP XV COS VIII PP, curule chair, wreath above. RIC II 109 (R), BMC 70, RSC 319.
Another left facing head on a pulvinaria type, thought to be related to the inauguration of the Flavian Amphitheater. This coin is dated before 1 July, as Titus took TRP X on that date. I rarely upgrade, but this example was well priced and much nicer than the example I previously had in my collection.
