Two nice and rare Flavians from the Shlomo Moussaieff collection

[FlaviusDomitianus]

Hello everyone.

I received today two nice coins won in a recent european auction: an As of Titus struck under the Vespasian and a Quinarius of Domitian struck under Titus.

Both coins come from the collection of the late Shlomo Moussaieff who, as I learned today, was a top class jeweller and "regarded as one of the world's top private collectors of antiquities associated with the Bible and ancient Near East" (Wikipedia).

Apart from provenance both coins are quite attractive to me; the well toned Quinarius of Domitian as Caesar under Titus, as far as I can remember, he's the first one I've ever seen in trade.

I'm pleased to share them here.

Kind regards

Alberto

Very nice coins and a great provenance. As you know I have a Titus denarius from the same collection.

Thanks Jay and Andrew for your kind compliments.

I will be on the lookout as I think that other coins from the same collection will likely show up in next auctions.
