<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 4752558, member: 74968&quot;]I could not wait to post this one. Leu had this listed as RIC 1414. I already have a RIC 1414. In fact Leu had 2 of these as lots 1139 and 1140. This one is the better of the 2. What I missed is that the obverse legend has COS III. RIC 1414 has COS II. Thanks to [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] for pointing out the difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>As it happens this is a very rare coin. It is not listed in RIC (2007). It will be in the RIC addenda whenever that emerges. This coin has been given the catalogue number RIC 1422AA.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think these Ephesian portraits are incredible. Just look at the style in which the head is rendered. I am also a big fan of this reverse type. I love the simplicity of the AVG within the wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian, 69-79.
