Another rare Titus added today:

It goes nicely with the Securitas dupondius I added last week.  The reverse is often mistaken for the common Pax denarius.

Thanks Joe, means a lot coming from you.

Added another Titus this morning.  A rare tetradrachm from Caesarea Maritima, struck about a week after the destruction of Jerusalem.  It goes nicely with my others from the series:

Incorrectly attributed to RPC 1967 which is a common type.  It is a die match both obverse and reverse to RPC 1969 #5 online.

Added an extremely rare sestertius from 72 CE today.  So rare that RIC doesn't have an image in the plates, only citing one example from the Museo Nazionale Roma.

A lovely portrait of Titus.  Very hard red encrustations remain with some old scratches on the reverse.  I'm very happy to have snatched this one up!

Group 1 Tetradrachm from Antioch have a distinctly "Alexandrian" style. The dies either engraved by the Alexandrian mint and shipped to Syria or the coins were struck in Alexandria for Syrian distribution. An interesting series and a nice early portrait of Vespasian.

Received another Titus today.  A very rare Rome mint Quadriga type from 72-73 CE.  Minted in both Antioch and Rome this is the much rarer Rome issue.

The triumphal quadriga denarius didn't get much traction 8)

How about a Judaean Judaea Capta?

A popular type, but this one is a the rarer early denarius lacking the PP on the reverse.  Handsome portrait of Titus too!

This one arrived today.  A rare sestertius of Titus in quadriga during the Judaea Capta triumph.  Only one other in Forum's gallery (Atherton of course  :)) Really nice red/brown patina with a good portrait.  Not nearly as rough in hand.  I'm very pleased with it.  Thanks for looking

Thanks!

Here's my latest addition:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=182138

I've always wanted this reverse type, either for Vespasian or Titus.  I managed to get the rarer one for Titus last week.  Arrived today.  Only 3 others in Forum galleries (orfew, 2 Atherton)

Although a little banged up, it has a wonderful portrait and charming reverse.

Thanks for looking.
