Titus as Caesar. 70-79 AD. Denarius, 3.47g. (6h). Rome, 74 AD. Obv: T CAESAR - IMP V[ESP] Head laureate right. Rx: PONTIF - TR P COS III Titus seated right on curule chair, holding scepter supported on chair seat and branch. RIC 692 (R ). BM 150. Paris 123. Cohen 161. Good VF.
Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.
A rare variant of a scarce type: only three specimens of this type in Reka Devnia hoard, none with just VESP not VESPASIAN in obverse legend. The reading V[ESP] on our coin seems to be guaranteed by IMP beginning at 10 rather than at 12 o'clock; cf. RIC pl. 6, 690-696 with VESP and 705-707 with VESPASIAN.
