<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8231233, member: 100951&quot;]A couple of weeks ago, I purchased this common seated Pax denarius of Vespasian to complete my Flavian type set and the latest addition to my 12 Caesars set:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/b1vtCC4FSkKIecK0Bxco_9682BB25-73AC-4D70-B8F6-249338AF0036.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian Denarius. 75 AD.

Civitas Galleries</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of the common Minerva type denarius issued by Domitian as Augustus, I opted to purchase a Domitian denarius that was issued during his tenure as Caesar commemorating the triumphal parade held by Vespasian shortly after the Judea Capta. It was believed that Domitian rode a beautiful white horse during this parade:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/H8p50ypFTCqvNCDac7gr_v21OBEn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>DOMITIAN, as Caesar under Vespasian, AR silver denarius. Rome, 73 AD. CAES AVG F DOMIT COS II, laureate head right. Reverse - Domitian, togate, riding on horse prancing left, holding sceptre in left hand and raising right.
