Titus RIC II 0102Titus 79-81A.D. AR Denarius. Rome mint. 3.36 g. Jan.-July 80 A.D. Obv: IMP TITVS CɅES VESPɅSIɅN ɅVG PM, laureate head r. Rev: TRP IX IMP XV COS VIII P P, trophy with female seated r. in attitude of morning, and male captive seated l., hands bound behind back. RIC 102, RSC 306, BMC 37.

This coin may serve to both symbolize a victory in Britain, and as a reminder of the Jewish victory. Titus issued a number of trophy-captive types during his reign from 79-81 A.D. One of my favorite coins thus far, for both the condition, and the historic significance.

Titus RIC II 0119Titus. 79-81 A.D. AR Denarius. Rome Mint, 80, 1 Jan.-30 June A.D. (3.3 g, 18.07 mm, 6 o) Obv: IMP TITVS CɅES VESPɅSIɅN ɅVG PM, laureate head right. Rev: TRP IX IMP XV COS VIII PP, winged thunderbolt on draped table or chair. RIC II 119, Sear 2513, BMC 51, RSC 316. Ex David Hendin.

This is a part of a pulvinaria (supplication to the gods) series by Titus in 80 A.D.. This could be to celebrate the opening of the Flavian Amphitheater, or, in the alternative, it could be to supplicate the gods after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.2 commentsLucas H05/04/11 at 00:16Randygeki(h2): indeed

Titus RIC II 0112Titus. 79-81 A.D. AR Denarius. Rome Mint. 80 A.D. 1 Jan- 30 June. (3.46 g, 18.87 mm, 6h). Obv: r. to l, out-IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M. Rev: l. to r., in-TRP IX IMP XV COS VIII PP, dolphin coiled around anchor. RIC 112, RSC 309, BMC 72, Sear 2517. Ex David Hendin.

This type may have been issued as a part of a series to commemorate the opening of the Flavian Amphitheater, or Colosseum which was begun under Vespasian and financed, at least in part, by the treasure plundered from the Jewish Temple during the sack of Jerusalem.8 commentsLucas H05/03/11 at 20:01renegade3220: A great addition to any collection!

Titus as Caesar RIC II V1076Titus as Caesar. 69-79A.D. AR Denarius. Rome Mint. 79 A.D.. Obv: [T] CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS, laureate head of Titus right. Rev: TR POT VIII COS VII, captive kneeling right below trophy. RIC II V1076.

Usually billed as commemorating the Roman victory in Judaea and thus a Judaea Capta type, this reverse was actually used on a Republican reverse by C. Memmius (Crawford 427/1) and could just be a Flavian restoration type common during Vespasian's reign.1 commentsLucas H04/26/11 at 05:06Steve E: Hansome portrait!
