RIC 1029 Titus Dupondius
T CAESAR VESPASIANVS TR P COS VI 
Laureate head left 

PRINCIP IVVENT SC across lower field
Domitian Caesar on horse prancing left, raising right hand and holding scepter in left. 

Rome; 77-78 CE

10.66g

RIC 1029 (R3)

HJB 225th Bid or Buy lot 63 from the Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex CNG E329, 25 June 2014, 409.

The reverse depicts Domitian participating in the Judaea Capta triumph of 71 A.D. He is, as Josephus described him, riding alongside in magnificent apparel and mounted on a horse that was itself a site worth seeing.

RIC notes that this is "presumably a mule, with the reverse of Domitian from the parallel issue."  David Atherton believes the reverse die is intentional for both Titus and Domitian, making this an official pairing of dies for Titus.  Regardless, the type is very rare.  None in Forum galleries.

There is a parallel sestertius of this type which hints this reverse was intentional and not accidental!
