Yet another AD 69 Alexandrian Tet, this time a stayer Vespasian.

 

OTHO (sorry, late to the Otho party):

Nice Otho, good detail and especially having an obverse legend something mine lacks and a lot of others I've seen.

 

Great coin, you don't usually see them this nice.

 

Nice!!!

 

Not much left on this drachm except a couple descent portraits.

I got a Drachm like this only Domitian, and your Vespasian portrait is still better than mine......I will show it when Domitian provincial gets a turn.

 

That Julia Titi is a beauty @Valentinian. And it is a cistophorus too, which really makes it special!

 

Sorry, no portrait of Julia Titi... just a hearse carrying her dead body... Yeah, I KNOW it is not a provincial. But, how many times do you get to see a dead body on a coin? Yeah, look hard... she is under the canopy...

I know it's not much of a portrait (or even much of a coin), but let me put this one here cos I just managed to attribute it a few days ago. It only took me four years .

DOMITIAN
AE24. 10.02g, 24mm. JUDAEA, Ascalon, dated CY 189 (AD 85/6). RPC II 2211; Rosenberger 115. O: Laureate head left. R: Tyche-Astarte standing left on galley, holding scepter and aplustre; altar to left; to right, dove standing left above ΘΠP (date).

 

Awesome! A satisfying feeling for sure.

 

It was! I almost did a little happy dance when I realized that one of the few remaining clear devices allowed for it to be dated to the actual year it was struck.
