Also thought I&#039;d share by As from CNG from my top 15 of 2019 list, which I finally got around to photographing.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vespasian (69-79 AD)</b></p><p>AE Sestertius</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Date: </b>71 AD</p><p><b>Obv:</b> IMP CAES VESPAS AVG P M TR P P P COS III, laureate head right.</p><p><b>Rev:</b> SALVS AVGVSTA, SC in exergue, Salus seated left holding patera and sceptre.</p><p><b>Diameter:</b> 33mm</p><p><b>Weight:</b> 25.13 grams</p><p><b>Mint:</b> Rome</p><p>RIC II 245</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1067903[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vespasian (69-79 AD)</b></p><p>AE As</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Date:</b> 74 AD</p><p><b>Obv:</b> IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG, laureate head right.</p><p><b>Rev:</b> PON MAX TR POT P P COS V CENS, winged caduceus between two crossed cornucopiae.</p><p><b>Diameter:</b> 27mm</p><p><b>Weight:</b> 13.17 grams</p><p><b>Mint:</b> Rome</p><p>RIC II 756</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1067910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
