Titus. 79-81 AD. Denarius, 3.24g. (6h). Rome, July 79 AD. Obv: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M Laureate head right. Rx: TR P VIIII - IMP XIIII - COS VII Capricorn left, horned and bearded, celestial globe with crossing longitudinal and latitudinal lines below. RIC 5 (C ). Cohen 280. BMC p. 224 note. About EF.

Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.

Rare without P P in reverse legend: not in BM or the Paris collection, and no such specimens in Reka Devnia hoard. Titus must have accepted the title Pater Patriae quite soon after the beginning of his ninth tribunician year on 1 July 79 AD.
