I think Vespasian usually (and here too) looks like a kindly old grandfather who, if he wanted to, could kick my ass. His head looks like you could hit it with club and it would bounce off.

That is quite possibly the greatest description of a Vespasian coin portrait I've ever read. So perfect!  :laugh:
