<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2391408, member: 82616&quot;]A neat reverse which copies denarius types struck for Ahenobarbus and Mark Antony. Many of the denarii minted for Vespasian had an antiquarian air about them and were either copied types from the past or invented ones which looked &#039;republican&#039;. Denarii of his reign were struck at 80% fineness, so presumably the mint was recalling the finer republican and early imperial types in circulation and were striking the antiquarian types at the new standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my example, one of the first Roman coins I purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]491375[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m glad to see you got one, it&#039;s not as common as you would think![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
