                                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 Pax standing left, holding branch and caduceus, with
     legends COS.ITER.TR.POT. Coin is struck on a smallish flan, but
     otherwise grades F, with clear devices and legends where struck
     up. A nice example of the type, catalouged as RSC-94g. 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!
