<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 24749141, member: 128351&quot;]It&#039;s saturday 13.30 h in France, not far from Fontainebleau. After a late breakfast, my son who came yesterday to see us with his girlfriend has just left, I have been working a little in my office, but now I have no more ideas. My wife is going out for a haircut. I turned off the news, too depressing. It&#039;s cold outside, the temperature plummeted since yesterday and it will probably be raining soon. I have been choosing a movie for tonight in Fontainebleau (<i>Le Règne Animal</i>, a story about people being transformed into all kinds of wildlife with fur, feathers or scales), and we&#039;ll go to some restaurant after that. I&#039;ll now have a clean shave, so the poor girl with her new hairdo won&#039;t be too ashamed being seen dining with a hairy tramp.</p><p><br /></p><p>What? Vespasian? Oh yes, I forgot, sorry. It&#039;s not a sestertius, it&#039;s a dupondius. Just grabbed a coin, my smartphone, some editing, that&#039;s it :</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1583118[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian, Dupondius, Lyons, AD 71 - AE 28 mm, 13.08 g</p><p>Obv.: IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III, radiate head right</p><p>Rev.: PAX AVG / S C, Pax, draped, standing left, sacrificing out of patera in right hand over lighted altar left and holding caduceus and branch in left hand</p><p>RIC II.1 (2nd ed.)
