I wish to share a wonderful tetradrachm of Vespasian from Alexandria: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-113202

In surprisingly good style and condition for the issue.

Hi,

Given the dating is on the obverse is there any die link evidence to show use of Vitellian reverse dies?

I'm not familiar enough with Vitellius' coinage to comment, but I would like to know the answer too! Hopefully someone will chime in.
