RIC 1562 Titus denarius
T CAES IMP VESP PON TR POT.
Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.

Palm tree; to left, Titus standing right with spear and parazonium, foot on helmet; to right,  Judaea mourning seated right.

Antioch; 72-3 CE

2.73g

RIC 1562 (C)

EX-Numismatik Naumann GmbH Auction 136 lot 519

This coin was described by the auction house as a Limes (unofficial) coin.  However, this coin is indeed solid silver with a heavy dark toning and encrustations, as can be seen on the reverse.  The double strike obverse, Ad Marco scoop on the reverse and being a double die match to the Sneh coin make this an official coin from Antioch.  Interestingly, the Antioch version is more common than the Rome mint issue. One which I am happy to add to my collection.  I may try to remove the encrustation from the palm tree and back of Judaea.
