Titus as Caesar. 70-79 AD. Denarius, 3.21g. (1h). Rome, Late 73 AD. Obv: T CAES IMP - VESP CEN Head laureate right. Rx: PONTIF - MAXIM Vespasian seated right on curule chair, holding scepter resting on chair seat and branch. RIC 553 (R ). BM 112. Paris 97. Cohen 158. About EF.
Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.
A rare variant of a scarce type: only three specimens of the type in Reka Devnia hoard, none with just CEN rather than CENS in obverse legend. Both variants appear to be mules using a reverse legend intended for Vespasian; Titus struck the same type but with his own legend, PONTIF TRI POT.
