<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3550287, member: 8959&quot;]These are some recent pictures of my tired and worn out Concordia sestertius of Vitellius.</p><p><br /></p><p>In spite of the extensive wear, I find this hefty sestertius still has a certain charm....and of course, that unmistakable Vitellian bust. I really like it. </p><p>The planchet is somewhat &#039;dished&#039;, and this probably accounts for the fact that the portrait is still well outlined while most of the reverse is gone. </p><p>(It was still a worthwhile purchase for all of 30-40 Marks back in the late 80&#039;s or early 90&#039;s. Those were the times....)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been trying to find the WildWinds reference for this type, but was unable to. Maybe I am not looking right. Can any body pls. point me in the right direction?</p><p><br /></p><p>acsearch lists only one recorded auction appearance for this type, with the following attribution:</p><p><br /></p><p>Vitellius. AD 69. Æ Sestertius. Rome mint. Laureate and draped bust right / Concordia seated left, holding branch and scepter. RIC I 133. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]943432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]943433[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Post, if you like, those worn out bronzes which hold special appeal for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
