[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3559279, member: 8959"]That is a lovely sestertius of Vespasian, David! Historically significant and aesthetically pleasing, and a nice provenance. What else can you as for? It is a type I would like to add to my collection as well. Here are two of mine with 'provenance': [B]Vespasian[/B], Sestertius, Lugdunum, 71, Obverse: laureate bust right, globe at point, imp caes vespasian avg p m tr p p p cos iii, Reverse: spqr p p ob cives servatos in four lines within oak-wreath, 23.93g (RIC 1137; BMC p.198; C 531). About very fine, chocolate-brown patina, rare; Provenance: Seaby List M228, July 1934 (17379) Thanks to the kind help of TIF and Meander I was able to complete the provenance as originally from the Münzhandlung Basel sale catalog #1, of June 1934 of the Prinz Waldeck collection of roman bronzes.
