NBS Web Auction 8, August 7 2021, Lot 407.
This nice little drachm was misattributed by the seller as a coin of Domitian. It is is Titus instead and I really like this cool little coin. RPC online shows 4 examples. Definitely not a common coin.
I was struck by the artistic style of the portrait. I think it is a very interesting and sensitive portrait of Titus. I also like the reverse featuring Nike.
