                                Description

     This piece was minted between 72 and 73 AD, 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.COS.IIII. The
     reverse type features a simpulum, sprinkler, jug, and lituus,
     with legends AVGVR.TRI.POT. Coin is struck on a smallish flan,
     and shows a flan flaw on the obverse at K-2, but otherwise grades
     F, with clear devices and most legends visible where struck up. A
     decent and affordable example of the type, catalouged as RSC-45.
     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
