(TITUS), from Moesia & Thrace, period of Titus (A.D. 79-81), (6.498, 6.528 grams), AE 25-26 with countermarks of AVG and TI.CAE [Ti{tus} CAE{SAR}), on both coins, on Augustus AE as from Ephesus, another on Augustus dupondius (S.1666), with these countermarks repeated both sides, (Martini No. 83, 90, Howgego 577 and 602). Countermarks very fine, host coins poor, and very scarce with these known countermarks. (3)
Martini notes the letters to mean TI(tus?) Cae(sar) and Aug(ustus) and which are always closely associated. He further notes the issues as struck generally are Ephesian coins of Augustus. The issue was in the period of Vespasian and Titus. It was in a Thrace-Moesia area that these countermarks were applied to circulating worn coinage.
