Aethelred

This coin came in the mail this weekend, it is a bronze Sestertius of the Roman Emperor Titus (AD 79-81). It was minted at the Rome Mint in AD 80 and is 34mm in diameter.

Here are the other coins I have from Titus:

A Denarius:



An As:



And I think my favorite, an AE26 of Herod Agrippa II showing a bust of Titus and having the name "AGRIPPA" in Greek on the reverse. This coin was minted in Caesarea Philippi in AD74-75.

nice coins guys


is that Titus with the legionary standards on the reverse a tough coin?

I haven't looked much into Titus coins yet, decided to get the more expensive guys out of the way first

It seems to be a common type in this century, Tiberius had a reverse very much like it, i know i have also seen others, but i can not recall who at the moment.

reminds me of Marc Antony's legionary denarii

And a much finer example than the plate coin from that volume.
So much detail.
I love the imperial box there amidst the spectators. Awesome!
