TYPE Roman Empire, Vespasian (69-79 AD), silver denarius, 3.20g, posthumous issue struck under Titus (Rome, 80-1 AD) DESCRIPTION . Obv: Laureate head of Vespasian to right, Latin legend DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS Rev: Slow quadriga to left, with car in the form of small temple, which has three figures in the frieze, and is surmounted by small quadriga (or emperor on horseback?) crowned by two Victories, Latin legend EX S C in ex. REFERENCE: RSC 146, SR -, VM -, rare GRADING: VF, gray toning ORDER INFO: R1430, $195 A rare type issued by Titus in honor of his deified father. (After all, Vespasian's famous last words were - according to historian Suetonius - "Dear me! I must be turning into a god!"...) The elaborate reverse is quite remarkable, and even though RSC states that the topmost ensemble (typically weak at the edge of the flan) crowned by two Victories is a quadriga, it appears more as an emperor on horseback.
