[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2429198, member: 76194"]After a nearly 3 month hiatus due to work related matters that soaked every ounce of free time I had, I'm back. I missed you guys. As some of you may remember, I am trying to assemble a decent collection of Flavian and Good Emperors silver coinage as these are my favorite periods of Roman history, and thanks to JA tonight I took one step closer to that goal: Ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, my new denarius of the Emperor who loved money so much that he taxed his citizens' bodily functions, and left the world with one of the best quotes in history: "Pecunia non olet" (Money does not smell)...the mighty conqueror of Judea, Emperor Vespasian. This is a scarce variety for him. The reverse features Jupiter as a watchman, holding a scepter, standing next to a flaming altar, with the inscription IOVIS CVSTOS. What do you think? Not a bad way to get bak into the game, right? [ATTACH=full]504490[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
