<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2248338, member: 44132&quot;]My latest Vespasian acquisition is more commonly found for Titus than his father. Rare. Continuing the Flavian theme of restoring historic coin types from the late Republic and early principate, this coin depicts the rostral column erected in honour of Octavian&#039;s victory over Sextus Pompey at the Battle of Naulochus.&nbsp; The column displayed the bronze rams of Pompey&#039;s captured ships and was surmounted by a gilded honorific statue.&nbsp; This coin has some surface problems, but I can live with that.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]444408[/ATTACH] </p><p>VESPASIAN</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; TR POT X COS VIIII, radiate figure standing on rostral column, holding scepter</p><p>Struck at Rome, 79AD</p><p>2.9g, 18mm</p><p>Sear 2311.
