Great write up. I was not aware there were posthumous issues of coins in honour of Titus. Awesome patina!

Hello everyone.

The Annona sestertius with left portrait was my first Titus coin, some 30 years ago.

Eventually I got the right portrait: for unknown reasons many sestertii of Titus are way more common with the left portrait.

Good details and a warm toning make me love this coin.

Kind regards

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

That is a great coin! Despite some wear and pitting the details are sharp and has one of the best portraits of Titus I have seen. He looks slightly optimistic and deep in thought.

Hello everyone.

It's been a while since I last updated my gallery, yet in the meantime I actively worked to expand my collection and I also managed to upgrade the pictures of some older coin.

As a result I decided to bust my gallery picking up a handful of coins here and there including a couple of aurei.

I wish you'll like it.

Kind regards

Alberto

Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to share three assorted Flavian coins landed today to my collection.

1) Vespasian Dupondius struck in Lugdunum AD 72 with an oustanding portrait of the emperor

Hello evryone,

among my latest acquisitions this coin is a favorite of mine.

Indeed I love this reverse type, carried over by Trajan too, and it's my fifth example out of a total of seven issues.

One of the rarest too.

The coin is worn yet fully enjoyable.

I hope you like it too.

Kind regards

Alberto

Hello everyone,

it doesn't happen often to come across Vespasian middle bronzes celebrating his victory in the Jewish war, since they are much more scarcer than sestertii or denarii of the same subject.

This early As from the mint of Rome depicts a scene much alike the one you usually see on denarii.

The coin is worn, but so are even those on London collection.

Kind regards

Alberto

Having uploaded my last purchase, I thought that it would be nice to make a pair with the Lugdunum as of the same subject that wasn't already in the gallery.

It's a later issue, with a portrait in typical Lugdunum style.

Kind regards

Hello everyone,

as far as I recall this should be the only AE mule recorded in RIC.

It's double portrait from the early dies of 81 A.D.

Kind regards

Hello everyone.

Over the week I received a few coins.

Here is a couple of nice dupondii, struck in the name of Vespasian and Iulia Titi.

Kind regards
