<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2609773, member: 82616&quot;]My first ancient coin was purchased from Henri Delger of Old Roman Coins in March of 2003.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the actual photo of the coin he used on his website.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570710[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vespasian</b></p><p>AR Denarius, 3.40g</p><p>Rome Mint, 75 AD</p><p>RIC 772 (C3), BMC 161, RSC 366</p><p>Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.</p><p>Rev: PON MAX TR P COS VI; Pax, bare to the waist, seated l., holding branch extended in r. hand, l. hand on lap</p><p><br /></p><p>I was doing research about the Roman monetary system when I stumbled upon Henri&#039;s online store quite by accident! The coins were amazing and I wanted one. I&#039;ve always had an interest in the Flavian period, so I choose a denarius of Vespasian. Soon after that first purchase I had to have a denarius of Titus and another of Domitian. After that I wanted another and then another ... I was hooked and haven&#039;t stopped since!</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have the above Vespasian Pax denarius. A fine example of the type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
