<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2721412, member: 82616&quot;]To me, the early coinage of Vespasian at Rome is interesting because it is transitional in style. There are some portraits you look at and think &#039;that&#039;s the Vespasian we all know&#039; and then there are others that look like guess work. I suppose it&#039;s down to the individual engraver, but keep in mind Vespasian didn&#039;t arrive in Rome until the autumn of 70, almost a year after Rome fell to his supporters.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want a Vespasian portrait with hair, look to these early issues![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
