Titus AR DenariusYep, another iridescent-toned beauty!
Titus Denarius. 80 AD. IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M, laureate head right / TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P, dolphin coiled around an anchor. RIC II 26a; BMCRE 72; RSC 309.
This piece was minted in 80 AD under Titus, who ruled from 79-81 AD. Titus remained in Judaea after Vespasian's accession to carry on the Jewish war, and captured Jerusalem in 70 AD. On his return to Rome, Titus was made Vespasian's colleauge in the government, and thus his succession on Vespasian's death went smoothly. Rome was plagued by a number of misfortunes during his reign, the most well known of which was the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Faced with these events, Titus proved to be a most benevolent emperor, and his death caused much sorrow.
