<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeteB, post: 7564658, member: 99412&quot;][ATTACH=full]1304312[/ATTACH] </p><p>Vespasian. 69-79 AD. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.60 gm; 2h). Ephesos(?) mint. Struck circa 69-70 AD. Obv: IMP CAES VESPAS AVG, laureate head right. Rev: CONCORDIA AVG, Concordia - Ceres, veiled, seated left in ornate throne with garland hanging over back, holding grain ears, poppy, and cornucopia; Φ (on its side) in exergue. RIC II 312 var. (obverse legend); RPC II 809 (five examples known); BMCRE 434A; BN -; RSC 65c. </p><p>There are various reverse mint marks. Mattingly suggests that there is a chance that the Φ mint mark stands for Philippi (See RPC II, p. 126). RPC concludes that mint marks other than EPHE (PH is ligate) &quot;remain perplexing.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
