<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7775751, member: 80952&quot;]In the last months I find myself checking Flavian coins more often than before. I think it&#039;s fascinating that Vespasian managed to bring stability to the Empire after a very gray period.</p><p>In my last auction I managed to grab 2 denarii from Vespasian&#039;s reign. One of them depicting Domitian as Caesar. Not great, especially the Domitian one, but I won&#039;t refuse a worn coin from my area of interest (if it is identifiable). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333728[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian (69-79) AR Denarius, Rome, 77-78</p><p>IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG - Laureate head right </p><p>Rev: Pair of oxen under yoke left, In exergue, COS VIII. </p><p>C 133.

Late 3rd century and 4th century don&#039;t present the same interest for me, but I&#039;m sure in the future I will study that area more carefully also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
