[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3264351, member: 8959"]Nice and scarce coin, for sure! See, even though back then between your girlfriend (now you wife) and the coin, you made the [B]right[/B] choice, the coin gods have now rewarded you, and you now have both:). This is the coin that took me 'ages' to find: a Sestertius of Vespasian directly related to the Jewish Revolt. This was actually also the coin which got me back to ancients after a break of a few years, I was so perked by finally finding one. It has a scarcer reverse type, which is the one that I wanted, which does not directly allude to the Judaean Wars, but is undoubtedly related to it. It was also specially interesting because it is, seemingly, only the second known example with this specific reverse legend. The other one is in the British Museum Collection.
