<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2885446, member: 82616&quot;]The Rome mint under Vespasian recycled many antiquarian types from the past, especially those struck for Octavian/Augustus. The capricorn was Augustus&#039; birth sign, so it showed up frequently on his coinage as well as those coins struck for Vespasian. The more a &#039;new man&#039; like Vespasian could emulate the founder of the empire, so much the better![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
