<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4118626, member: 99456&quot;][USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] - an enjoyable post and very nice Vespasian.&nbsp;&nbsp; I bought this coin for its exceptional portrait of Probus.&nbsp; While it is far from the &quot;full magnificence of portraiture&quot; on a Vespasian Ae, for the time it was done with unusual care, attention to detail and has been unusually well preserved:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1068003[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Empire, <b>Probus</b>, AE Antoninianus, AD 276, Siscia, Emission 1, Officine 2</p><p><b>Obv:</b> IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG, Buste radié, drapé et cuirassé de Probus à droite vu de 3/4 en arrière. (Code buste Bastien : A2)</p><p><b>Rev: </b>FELICITAS AVG /-/B//XXI, Em. 1 (phase b), 2e off., Felicitas debout à gauche, tenant un caducée long de la main gauche et une patère de la main droite au dessus d&#039;un autel. (Type C)</p><p><b>Ref: </b>RIC 675[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
