Very rare. Nearly very fine

Overbeck – Meshorer no. 176.

The identity of the veiled women is disputed. Whereas some scholars identified her with Livia, the wife of the first emperor, some others thought that she might be Berenike, the sister of king Agrippa and mistress of Titus. Both propositions are unconvincing. The coin was minted in the year 79/80, exactly in the time when Titus had minted a coin to commemorate his mother Domitilla (RIC no. 262).
