Titus. As Caesar, AD 69-79. AV Aureus (7.15 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 76. Laureate head right / Bull standing right. RIC II 868 (Vespasian); Calicó 734. Near EF, underlying luster.


This reverse type is very similar to an aureus struck for Augustus (cf. Calicó 168), and may signal the Flavians’ continued attempt to foster a nostalgic bridge with the Augustan Age.
