RIC 1404 Vespasian
AR Denarius, 2.99g
Ephesus Mint, 69-70 AD
Obv: IMP CAES VESPAS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: LIBERI IMP AVG VESPAS; Titus and Domitian veiled, togate, stg. front (heads l.), each with patera; in exergue, horizontal Φ
RIC 1404 (R). BMC p. 90 note. RSC 248 var. (rev. mintmark). RPC 811 (4 spec.). BNC 334.
Ex Imperial coins VAuction 274, 15 December 2011, lot 117.

A dynastic type minted in one of the first issues at Ephesus. Despite the ragged flan, the portrait is very noble and the reverse featuring the two young princes is quite charming. The mint mark on the reverse is barely visible below their feet.

Very nice example of an interesting type.

Really nice strike, even with the ragged flan
