Let's Shake on it!
« on: April 30, 2019, 06:56:06 am »
A wonderful example of early Vespasianic bronze arrived in my PO box over the weekend. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-154979

A superb coin in hand!

NB: Corn = grain, not maize.

Nice type.  +++

I wonder whose hands they are (represent). Usually that's obvious, but here??

Provinces and Rome ?? Emperor and people ??

Sweet! ... congrats on adding that beauty to your collection, David

The portrait rocks, but the reverse is also a stunner (I love the caduceus and grain ears above the clasped hands ... it's a nice touch)

Oh, and fantastic patina (a cool, rugged lookin' coin)
