[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 5393217, member: 74968"]I thought about this one for a bit because as you can see this is a rough coin. It is also however the only one I have seen for sale in at least 4 years. The only ones I have been able to find are the RIC plate coin, 2 on Acre and 2 from collectors who are fellow members of this site. Everyone I have found shares the same obv and rev dies as m one which confirms the rarity. They have better examples but sometimes when you chase certain rarities you buy em when you see em. I hope that [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] and [USER=58462]@Nemo[/USER] will post theirs. This reverse legend appears on only 2 denarii for Vespasian this one and RIC 6 with Titus and Domitian seated Our own [USER=88526]@Jay GT4[/USER] has one of these. I have V1124 which is similar but from the Lyon mint instead. Vespasian, with Titus and Domitian as Caesars (AD 69-79) AR denarius. circa 21 December 69-early 70, (18mm 2.71g) Obv: Laureate head right; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG Rev: Titus and Domitian on horseback right; TITVS ET DOMITIAN CAES PRIN IV No specimens in Rekka Devnia hoard RIC 5 [ATTACH=full]1232153[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
