I don’t have proof for this but I can’t imagine Vespasian would let the coinage of “usurpers” circulate freely with his own.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I was Vespasian I’d recall and melt any coinage of the other 3 Emperors who challenged my claim to the throne and remint it into my own coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because letting their coinage circulate would be a reminder to the Roman people of those challenges to my authority. I’d want them to forget about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
