Vespasian Æ Drachm, 18.63g Alexandria mint, 75-76 AD Obv: ΑΥΤΟΚ ΚΑΙΣ ΣΕΒΑ ΟΥΕΣΠΑΣΙΑΝΟΥ, LH; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r. Rev: ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΤΙΤΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ; Head of Titus, laureate, r. RPC 2448 (7 spec.). Emmett 209.8. Dattari-Savio 350-351. Acquired from Incitatus Coins, March 2023. A bronze drachm struck at Alexandria in regnal year 8 (75-76) that boldly advertises Titus Caesar as Vespasian's heir. This type was struck slightly more commonly on the tetradrachm the same year. In hand. And here is the tetradrachm variety. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=112618 Please share your double portraits!
