RIC 0421 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]
|
Æ Sestertius, 26.63g
Rome mint, 72 AD
Obv: T CAES VESPASIAN IMP PON TR POT COS II; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: FORTVNAE REDVCI; S C in field; Fortuna stg. l., with branch and rudder on globe, and cornucopiae
RIC 421 (R). BMC 630. BNC 617.
Acquired from Liberty Coin, December 2020.
An early sestertius struck for Titus Caesar featuring a reverse type also coined for Vespasian. FORTVNAE REDVCI (Fortuna the home-bringer) commemorates Titus's safe return from the Judaean War the previous year. Considered somewhat scarce. RIC notes that Fortuna's branch is often invisible - although it is quite evident on this example.
Worn but honest and in good early style.
