I thought it would be neat to have the matching pair. Vespasian A.D. 69-79. AR denarius (19.3 mm, 2.82 g, 6 h). Rome mint, struck A.D. 77-78. Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right Rev: COS VIII, prow of galley right, star above. RIC 108; BMCRE 210; RSC 136. Agora Auctions Lot 53-176 April 5, 2016 Ex: Agora Auctions Titus. AR Denarius 19 mm (3.25 g), as Caesar, AD 69-79. Rome, under Vespasian, AD 77/8. Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS, laureate head of Titus right. Rev: COS VI, prow of galley right, sides ornameted with intricate cross-hatch and maeander patterns; above, star with sixteen rays. RIC 950 (R); BN 202; BMC 226; RSC 68.

orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 12:24 am @DavidSV The Vespasian will be relatively easy. There is also a left facing facing variety which will be a bit more difficult. As for the titus, I was very luck to get that one. There were 0 examples in the Reka Devnia hoard, there are 2 examples on acsearch, there is one example on Coin archives but it is one of the 2 on acsearch, and there are no examples in the CNG archive. There are 3 examples in the Forvm ancient Coins galleries (one is mine). I wish you luck! Report this Post to the Staff
