Thanks David.

 

Oops! I gave you the wrong minerva attribution for the issue. Yours is a 'M4' not a 'M3'.

So, Minerva stg. l., with spear (M4).

 

I have a silver Vespasian I will photograph soon as well, I haven't attributed it properly yet but it might be the last year of his reign COSV1111.

 

COS VIIII would indeed be from 79, his last year as emperor. That issue has only four reverse types.

 

I have a Domitian Minerva Sestertius:

IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M / TR P COS VIII DES VIIII P P S C
Sestertius, Rome, 82

That's a lovely Sestertius @Julius Germanicus
