<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1513413, member: 39084&quot;]One of the sub-themes I&#039;ve attempted in my collection is to collect interesting reverse types -- at least, interesting to me.&nbsp; This aureus of Vespasian fit that theme with its portrayal of Neptune on the reverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]196151.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>VESPASIAN&nbsp; 69 - 71 A.D.</p><p>AV Aureus (7.35 g.) Rome Jul. - Dec. 71 A.D.</p><p>IMP CAES VESP AVG P M Laureate head right. Rev. NEP - RED Neptune standing left, right foot on globe, holding acrostolium and scepter.</p><p>RIC 44</p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian&#039;s portrait is reasonably good style, but Neptune on the reverse is what caught my attention.&nbsp; Something about it reminds me of the Domitian sestertius I posted earlier in this thread - the one with Mars on the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
