    You are a God. If I were an ancient polytheist I'd be declaring you the "God of Verdicare procurement" right about now. Thank you man.

    The vespasian modius type was sparingly struck with left facing portraits, perhaps at a ratio of 1:10 with the right facing ones. It is indeed RIC 981.

    Nice example!

    Do you have any idea why most of his coins were struck facing right and only a few to the left? Any significance to the right or left placement? Thanks.

    Not a clue, other than it may possibly be the whim of the engraver.
