My most recent purchase is a decently scarce Flavian bronze mule. [ATTACH]Titus as Caesar [Vespasian] Æ Dupondius, 10.82g Rome mint, 74 AD Obv:...
A super rarity indeed Andrew! A lengthy discussion about the reverse type (with or without thunderbolts) between Ted Buttrey and myself several...

I couldn't resist this one. A common reverse type for Domitian, but paired with a very stylish portrait. [ATTACH]Domitian Æ Dupondius, 10.13g...
