Titus as Caesar. 70-79 AD. Sestertius, 27.94g. (7h). Rome, 73 AD. Obv: T CAESAR VESPASIAN IMP IIII PON TR POT III COS II Head laureate right. Rx: S - C across field, Mars advancing right holding spear and trophy over shoulder. RIC 563 (R2), pl. 38 (Oxford plaster cast, same obv. die). BMC p. 429 (Vienna). Tiber patina. VF.
Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection, purchased from James Beach in NYC.
Very rare, not in Cohen or the Paris or BM collections. The BMC addenda describe a specimen in Vienna, and the new RIC 563 adds two more, a Kraay plaster cast in Oxford and CNG 60, 2002, lot 1594. Titus' bronze coins of 72-3 are exceptional for recording his imperatorial and tribunician numbers, in this case IMP IIII and TR POT III.
