RIC 0774 Vespasian
AR Denarius, 3.36g
Rome Mint, 75 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r. 
Rev: PON MAX TR P COS VI; Securitas, bare to the waist, seated l., feet on stool, r. arm bent and resting on head, l. arm on side of chair
RIC 774 (C). BMC 165. RSC 367. BNC 141. 
Acquired from David L. Tranbarger, March 2006.

This type is commonly confused with the similar Pax reverse from the same issue. Securitas' raised arm differnates it from Pax. Frequency rating of 'common' in RIC, although scarce in trade.

A well toned example of a hard to find reverse.
