Is this Vitellius?

It looks like this to me:

But with some other things in the field near the tripod and dolphin. Any ideas?

I think it is, congrats! He, Vitellius, is hard to come by in any grade.

 

From those images, I'm not sure what's in the field, but that sure looks like Vitellius to me.

 

Yes, it appears to be this coin (or some variation thereof):



Vitellius AR Denarius. Rome, AD 69 RIC 109
A VITELLIVS GERMANICVS IMP AVG TR P, laureate head right / XV VIR SACR FAC, tripod, raven below, dolphin above.

Added: Without clearer pictures it will be hard to discern any additional information about your coin.

 

Yes, it's Vitellius. Even on a worn coin his image is unmistakable.

 

Thanks everyone! I got it in an unidentified best-offer lot with another denarius (Antoninus Pius). Happy to have a coin of such colorful and briefly-reigning emperor, even if it is very worn.

 

that was a bargain find!
