RIC 0949 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]
AR Denarius, 3.08g
Rome mint, 77-78 AD  
Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: COS VI; Mars stg. l., with spear and trophy; and to r., corn ear
RIC 949 (C). BMC 222. RSC 66. BNC 196.
Ex eBay, October 2011.

Yet another reverse that is shared with Vespasian. Although the type with Mars and corn ear is listed in RIC as "common", this is the first example I've seen in trade. The condition is not the greatest but beggars can't be choosers. Needless to say the thrill of receiving this denarius far outweighs the eye appeal!
