(TITUS), from Moesia & Thrace, period of Titus (A.D. 79-81), (7.086 grams), AE 24 with countermarks of TI.C.AE and AVG, both within separate squares on an Augustus dupondius, also trace of another countermark (Martini, Nom.6, Pangerl Collection of Countermarked Imperial coins type 90 [most reported carry both countermarks]). Countermark very fine, host coin poor.
Martini notes the letters which he believes to mean TI(tus?) C(aesar) A(ugustus) and AVG(ustus). He notes this issues as struck on generally issues of Augustus as is this issue with SC in centre and three line legend in wreath of obverse. Martini places the issue of this type to the period of Vespasian and Titus. It was in a Thrace-Moesia area that this countermark was applied to circulating worn coinage. The Pangerl collection contained 19 examples of these countermarks on one coin. Most issues known are of similar weight.
