Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > Jay GT4 > 04. Vespasian-by RIC number
RIC 0985(V) Titus denarius
T CAESAR VESPASIANVS
Laureate head right

IMP XIII
Goatherd, seated left, milking goat left

Rome, July 77-December 79 CE

RIC 985V (R)
3.08g

Ex-Germania Inferior Numismatics

Part of the agrarian series under Vespasian, perhaps promoting a more simpler way of life or the bounty that is provided by the Emperor.  This one being minted for Titus.   While only listed as Rare in RIC, this type is exceedingly difficult to find in trade, even more so than the one for Vespasian, and is a favorite of collectors.  Only 3 others in Forum galleries (orfew, 2 Atherton). Wonderful toning in hand.

Wonderful! I love this type. You are quite right RIC does not get the rarity ratings correct in all cases
Joe Sermarini   [Apr 19, 2023 at 02:26 AM]
Nice type.
