Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > Jay GT4 > 04. Vespasian-by RIC number
RIC 0774 Vespasian denarius
IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG
Laureate head right

PON MAX TR P COS VI
Securitas seated left, head resting on raised arm

Rome, 75 CE

3.22g

RIC 774 (C)

Ex-Aphrodite Auction 18, lot 481 misattributed as RIC 772

A beautifully toned denarius in hand.  Often times this coin is mistaken for the common Pax reverse (as was this one). The difference is in the position of the deities head resting on her arm. The pose is most likely taken from a cult statue of the goddess.
