Romulus was born c. 306, the son of Maxentius and Valeria Maximilla, daughter of Galerius. He held two consulships with his father in 308 and 309. He died during his second consulship, so he was not much more than 3 years old at is death. Coins of three denominations (follis, half and Third follis) were struck for Romulus in the mints of Rome and Ostia.

Minerva's prominence on Domitian's coinage first showed up on his early bronzes produced in 81-82 before she dominated his denarii. This fantastic sestertius struck in early 82 demonstrates that the finest engravers were not just reserved for Domitian's aurei. A superb portrait and fine reverse.David AthertonMay 29, 2021

Acquired from eBay, May 2021. Formerly in NGC holder #2104827-029, grade VG.
In 77-78 Lugdunum (modern Lyon) after a hiatus of several years struck a decently sized issue of bronze coinage, presumably to address a shortage in the Western provinces. This sestertius reverse type was struck at both Rome and Lyon (Lugdunum) commemorates the Senate awarding the corona civica to Vespasian. The corona civica was originally a military honour bestowed upon a Roman who had saved a fellow citizen's life in battle. It was one of the greatest public honours. In the imperial era the honour developed from a coveted military decoration into an imperial emblem granted by the Senate to the emperor. The wreath was made of oak leaves and is sometimes called a corona quercea after the common name for the oak. Artistically it is sometimes depicted with acorns scattered amongst the leaves. Plutarch believed the oak was chosen for this highest of honours for several reasons. The tree was easily found throughout the countryside and was quite convenient for fashioning a wreath when the need arose. Also, the oak is sacred to Jupiter and Juno and thus was an appropriate symbolic honour given to one who has saved the life of a fellow Roman citizen, or indeed the state. Finally, the early settlers of Rome, the Arcadians, were nicknamed 'acorn-eaters' in an oracle of Apollo.
The Wreath was awarded to Vespasian early in his reign by the Senate for rescuing the Roman people from civil war and bringing about peace. The fact the type was still struck seven to eight years after the initial award demonstrates the potent propaganda value of it on the coinage.David AthertonMay 28, 2021

S.6578
The Irish coinage of James II were struck from base metal, sometimes melted down from old cannons, as well as brass bells and other scrap metal. It is called "Gunmoney". The first coinage was halfcrowns and other minors, but later these were restruck as full crowns, in 1690. Frequently the undertype is visible.
These coins were demonetized in 1691, and as such survive in reasonable number.

RIC 1141 VespasianÆ Dupondius, 11.86g
Lyon mint, 71 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG COS III; Head of Vespasian, radiate, r.
Rev: FORTVNAE REDVCI; S C in field; Fortuna stg. l., with branch and rudder on globe and cornucopiae
RIC 1141 (R). BMC p. 199 †. BNC -.
Acquired from London Ancient Coins, May 2021.
Struck during Vespasian's great bronze issue of 71, this Fortuna 'home-bringer' type commemorates Vespasian and Titus's safe return to Rome after the Jewish War. She is depicted here with her rudder competently steering the fate of the world. The cornucopiae she holds symbolises prosperity. The type comes in several different legend and bust variants in this issue, all of which are fairly scarce.

RPC 2045 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]Æ24, 14.20g
Berytus mint, undated
Obv: IMP T CAESAR AVG F; Head of Titus, bare, l.
Rev: COL IVL AVG; Veiled figure ploughing to r., with two oxen
RPC 2045 (10 spec.).
Acquired from London Ancient Coins, May 2021.
The Roman colony of Berytus struck an undated issue of bronze coinage under Vespasian for both himself and Titus Caesar. The coins feature Latin legends with the traditional reverse type of a founder ploughing with two oxen. The ploughing ritual depicted is the creation of a boundary known as the sulcus primigenius, the first furrow, which delineated the line of the pomerium. The pomerium was a city’s ritual boundary which demarcation the sacred from the profane. The creation of this boundary was the first step in the foundation of a new colony. Berytus became a Roman colony in 14 BC during the reign of Herod the Great.David AthertonMay 26, 2021

RPC 0607 Domitian as Caesar [Vespasian]Æ Assarion, 5.41g
Koinon of Bithynia, Reign of Vespasian (69-79 AD), M. Maecius Rufus proconsul
Obv: ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΣΕΒΑΣ ΥΙΟΣ; Head of Domitian, laureate, r.
Rev: ΕΠΙ Μ ΜΑΙΚΙΟΥ ΡΟΥΦΟΥ ΑΝΘΥΠΑΤΟΥ; Spear and round shield
RPC 607 (6 spec.).
Acquired from eBay, May 2021.
The Koinon of Bithynia produced several issues of bronze coinage during Vespasian's reign under four separate proconsuls, all of which are undated which makes assigning a chronology difficult. This assarion of Domitian Caesar struck under the proconsulship of Maecius Rufus possibly dates towards the middle of Vespasian's reign, but hard evidence is lacking to be certain. The reverse likely commemorates the silver shield and spear granted to Domitian Caesar as princeps iuventutis by the equestrian order. A most appropriate reverse type for the young prince.
As mentioned above, I purchased this coin because of the artistic portrait, which is one of the finest I've come across for this issue (normally they are a bit more unrefined). In other words it's not a 'Friday afternoon' die.David AthertonMay 26, 2021
