                                Description

     This piece was minted during the reign of Vespasian, who ruled
     from 69-79 AD. Vespasian emerged victorious from the devestating
     civil wars that followed the death of Nero, and was in large
     measure responsible for the rebuilding of Rome which followed.
     Undoubtedly his most well known project was the Flavian
     Amphitheatre, also known as the Colosseum. The defeat of the
     First Jewish Revolt also occurred during his reign. The obverse
     of this type depicts the laureate head of Vespasian facing right,
     with legends IMP.CAESAR.VESPASIANVS.AVG. The reverse type
     features Mars, naked save for cloak, advancing right, holding
     spear and aquila, with legends COS.ITER.TR.POT. Coin grades
     AF/VG, with clear devices and partial legends visible. A decent
     and affordable example of the type, catalouged as RSC-87. All
     coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays
     postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA
     residents please add appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for
     orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN. For more ancients, please

     Thanks!
