    A wonderful example that is better than my own!

    V1302a.jpg Vespasian
    AR Denarius, 3.36g
    Tarraco mint, 70 AD
    Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
    Rev: CEASAR AVG F COS CAESAR AVG F PR•; Heads of Titus, bare, r., and Domitian, bare, l., confronting
    RIC 1302 (R). BMC 351A. RSC 5. BNC 2.
    Ex Pecunem 35, 6 September 2015, lot 582.

    Tarraco indeed had a unique style all their own.
