Rome mint, 71 AD
Obv: IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: AEQVITAS AVGVSTI; S C in exergue; Aequitas stg. l., with scales and rod
RIC 286 (C2). BMC 601. BNC 575.
Acquired from CGB.fr, September 2020.

After the financial mess Nero had left the empire in and the heavy costs of the recent Civil War and Judaean revolt, restoring the state's finances were a top priority for Vespasian upon his accession. This Aequitas type struck during his great bronze issue of 71 proclaims the honest administration of public finances and that lapsed standards would be restored. Aequitas holding her scales and measuring rod was probably based on a cult image of the deity. She first shows up as an imperial virtue on the coinage under Galba, a virtue that Vespasian was eager to emulate. The type comes in two variants - one with S C in exergue as seen here, and the slightly less common S C low in field. Aequitas is easily the commonest type struck on the As for this issue.

Good portrait and nice coppery tone.

Another unusual ornamentation pattern, perhaps previously unpublished. The jewels in the NW and NE nimbus sectors are missing, and corner jewels have been added to the normal simple square in the E, N, and W positions. The letters on the reverse are large, which suggests this is not merely a variant of the variety B-1 as catalogued by Zervos (Nomismatika Chronika 22, 2003).

RIC 0658 Domitian as Caesar [Vespasian]Æ Dupondius, 11.09g
Rome mint, 73-74 AD
Obv: CAESAR AVG F DOMITIAN COS II; Bust of Domitian, laureate, draped, bearded, r.
Rev: FELICITAS PVBLICA; S C in field; Felicitas stg. l., with caduceus and cornucopiae
RIC 658 (C). BMC p. 157 note *. BNC 693.
Acquired from CGB.fr, September 2020.

A most stylish dupondius struck for Domitian Caesar in either 73 or 74 from one of his earliest bronze issues at Rome. The dupondii from this issue are laureate instead of radiate and can be differentiated from the asses by the draped busts and metal content (yellowish orichalcum). The Felicitas on the reverse symbolises the prosperity and abundance the Flavian dynasty has brought to the empire. It is certainly one of the most abundant reverse types of Vespasian's reign. Surprisingly, this common Domitian Caesar Felicitas is missing from the BM's extensive collection.

The engraver who worked on the obverse had talent to spare and rendered a wonderful portrait in fine style.
