Titus Pax Sestertius

I have a great fondness for the coinage struck during Titus's reign ... so much so that even a 'common' Titus sestertius brings me joy. This one is my latest addition.

The in hand video brings out the details better than the picture.  Nice coin in hand!

Nice addition!   I have a similar coin in my collection but of the Balkan mint (that's what the seller said).   I bought this coin many years ago and it still impresses me in hand.  Enjoy!

The seller was indeed correct. Handsome example!
