Titus and Domitian as Caesars from Stobi (Macedonia)
« on: March 15, 2019, 05:41:59 pm »
Hello everyone.

Stobi was a Roman colony in the province of Macedonia, hence the legends in latin, not greek.

In the Flavian era a few bronzes were struck during the reign of Vespasian, with the portraits of the emperor himself and his sons Titus and Domitian.

All of them have a tetrastyle temple, enclosing a cult statue, on reverse.

This RPC 311 has the confronted busts of the young Caesars: the well detailed portraits are among the best available for the type.

Kind regards

Alberto

Thanks Andrew,

I already owned another spec but this one was too nice to let it go away!
