orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 7:36 pm So I bought this coin as an unsold lot on Roma. I was interested in it because I had a hard time finding any information on it at all. It is listed as RIC 36. On Acsearch I found one example. In my copy of RIC II part 1 (2007) the conversion table reports that Titus 36 and 37 are plated hybrids. I know this reverse is common for Domitian but I have never seen it on a coin of Titus until today. Titus AR Denarius. Rome, AD 79. IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M, laureate head right / PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS, goat standing left within laurel wreath. RIC II 36. 2.97g, 14mm, 6h. Near Very Fine. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 8:02 pm Very interesting coin and thanks for posting. Any thoughts on the significance of the goat? It doesn't exactly seem to fit with the rev inscription, or does it?

The Roman god Faunus was also a half goat, goat blood was used in religious scarifies." https://www.mintageworld.com/blog/a...ns-phase-ii/ Thanks to all for the kind words.
