  Description

     This piece was minted during the reign of Titus, who ruled from
     79-81 AD. Titus served as Caesar under his father, Vespasian,
     from 69-79 AD. He would remain in Judaea after Vespasian's
     accession to carry on the Jewish war, and captured Jerusalem in
     70 AD. On his return to Rome, Titus was made Vespasian's
     colleauge in the government, and thus his succession on
     Vespasian's death went smoothly. Rome was plagued by a number of
     misfortunes during his reign, the most well known of which was
     the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed the cities of
     Pompeii and Herculaneum. Faced with these events, Titus proved to
     be a most benevolent emperor, and his death caused much sorrow.
     The obverse of this piece depicts the laureate head of Titus
     facing right, with legends IMP.TITVS.CAES.VESPASIAN.AVG.P.M. The
     reverse features a capricorn facing left, with a globe below,
     with legends TR.P.VIIII.IMP.XIIII.COS.VII.P.P. Coin grades a Good
     F, with clear devices and most legends clearly visible. A nice
     example of this scarcer type of Titus, catalouged as RSC-280. All
     coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays
     postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA
     residents please add appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for
     orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN. Thanks!
