Vespasian RIC II 0939
Vespasian 69-79 A.D. AR Denarius.  Rome Mint 77-78 A.D. (3.14g, 17.8mm, 6h).  Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right.  Rev: COS VIII, Mars standing left with spear and trophy, corn ear to right.  RIC II 939.  

In 77-78 A.D., the Flavians minted a number of reverse designs with consciously antiquarian designs.  This type, with Mars, is  one of the most common of the period, and copies a Republican denarii of L. Valerius Flaccus.  This is a nice coin with even toning,  a high relief portrait, and full legends.

Now that is a most expressive portrait. It looks like he means business!
