                                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.CAES.VESP.AVG.P.M. The reverse type features
     Vesta seated left, holding simpulum, with legends TRI.POT.
     across. Coin is struck on a smallish flan, but otherwise grades
     F, with clear devices and legends where struck up. A very decent
     example of the type, catalouged as RSC-561. 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. For more ancients, please visit our WWW
