<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4906197, member: 110504&quot;]- Thanks.&nbsp; It&#039;s one of my favorite coins, partially because of its provenance.[/QUOTE]</p><p>[USER=75496]@Carl Wilmont[/USER],&nbsp; thanks for the confirmation!&nbsp; I still wish I could remember (or find) who was talking about the resemblance of early Vespasian portraits to either Otho or (likelier ...I suppose) Vitellius.&nbsp; ...Does someone post as &quot;@Flavian?&quot;&nbsp; (Revising this just now, I guess not.)</p><p>The provenance of your Bar Kochba zum (David Hendin? --Forget it) is mightily impressive, but I agree, the coin is only better.&nbsp; Its likely being from the last year of the revolt adds a dimension of poignance.&nbsp; I dimly recall hearing something from American public radio or the BBC, about historical reassessments of the Bar Kochba revolt, putting it more nearly on the same scale as the &#039;First Revolt.&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
