Titus. As Caesar, AD 69-79. AV Aureus (19.5mm, 7.08 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Vespasian, AD 76. T CAESΛR IMP VESPΛSIΛN, laureate head right / COS V above, heifer of Myron walking right. RIC II.1 857 (Vespasian); Calicó 733 (same rev. die as illustration). Some faint hairlines. Good Fine.

The reverse is thought to represent the bronze heifer by Myron, the 5th century BC Athenian sculptor. Vespasian placed the monumental work in his Templum Pacis (Temple of Peace), which was constructed following the close of the Jewish War. The temple complex doubled as a sort of public museum, where many of the spoils from the sack of Jerusalem were displayed alongside prominent works of art.
