David Atherton Posted February 11 · Member Share Posted February 11 I think I got this one for a good price - under $200 with shipping. For a coin missing from most collections I thought it a bargain! Titus Æ Dupondius, 10.39g Rome mint, 80-81 AD Obv: IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P COS VIII; Head of Titus, radiate, bearded, l. Rev: PAX AVGVST; S C in field; Pax stg. l., with branch and cornucopiae RIC 200 (R2). BMC -. BNC -. Acquired from Lukas Kalchhauser, December 2023. The various stock Pax types struck for Titus are carry-overs from Vespasian's reign and are normally seen on Titus' sestertii and asses. This is a rare variety of the standing Pax type struck for the dupondii. She is seen here holding a cornucopiae instead of the much more common caduceus. The left facing portrait variant is much scarcer than the right facing variety. Missing from both the BM and Paris collections. In hand. As always, thank you for looking and watching! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
