Legend is IMP T CAES VESP AVG PM TRP PP COS VIII. Reverse: Felicitas standing left holding cornucopia and sceptre. Legend is FELICIT PVBLIC SC. History: TITVS FLAVIVS VESPASIANVS, born in 39 to Vespasian and Flavia Domitilla, gained fame in the Judaean campaign of 66-70 where he initially commanded one legion but took over when Vespasian engaged Vitellius in a civil war. When Vespasian won in December, 69, Titus became his expected heir since his brother Domitian was eleven years younger. Titus shared every office with his father for nearly ten years and succeeded smoothly to the throne when Vespasian died on June 24, 79. He ruled very wisely but died after a brief illness on September 13, 81, regretted by all and soon deified by Domitian. Condition: The coin is in aVF condition with a reasonably smooth dark brown patina. Nice portrait, weak legends on a coin that is very scarce in any variety in nice condition. It is 32 mm in diameter and weighs 23.19 gms. ------------------------------------------------------------- Terms Payment to be made by cash, cashier's check, money order or personal check payable in U.S. funds.

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what? 1. Contact each other. The seller (augustus) and the high bidder (stultimus) should contact each other within three business days to discuss payment and shipping details. If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3 business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore, if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning, both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
