RIC 255 Titus
Æ Quadrans, 2.52g
Rome mint, 80-81 AD
Obv: IMP T VESP AVG COS VIII; Modius
Rev: S C  in laurel wreath
RIC 255 (C). BMC 220. BNC 227.
Acquired from London Ancient Coins, January 2021.

A small issue of quadrantes dated COS VIII were struck for Titus sometime in 80 or 81. The modius/ S C laurel wreath type copies the famous quadrans struck under Claudius. Although the frequency rating in RIC is 'common', this denomination for Titus is fairly uncommon.

Well centred with full legend.
