Vespasian's Victory
« on: October 07, 2019, 12:53:09 am »
I was really thrilled to have recently acquired this sestertius of Vespasian. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-158171


It shares the same iconography as this cuirassed statue of Vespasian found in Sabratha's forum.

Amazing.  I wonder if the artists knew each other.  Must have been a small community.
