Lot 2841
Two Orichalcum Sestertii of Titus as Caesar. One has rev: Caesar on horseback left (Fine+); the other, rev: Roma standing left (Good/Fine). Lot of 2 coins.
When sestertii were originally issued, their bright golden color must have dazzled the fortunate owners. Orichalcum is the equivalent metal of today's brass, an alloy containing a considerable amount of zinc.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
