Is this Vespasian?
« on: June 22, 2007, 06:20:15 pm »
 
This coin--AE 26 mm-- is VERY rough, but the devices are visible.  The rev is an eagle with spread wings, but I don't know the emperor.  Is it Vespasian?  Thanks for your help.  Laney

Hello and welcome,

the coin reminds me to this issue:
Vespasian AE As. IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III / S-C, eagle, head right, perched atop globe with wings half open.
Roma or Lyon . (cf.: RIC 497 ; Coh. 480)
depicted: the Lugdunum (Lyon) issue with the small globe at the neck)

search on http://www.coinarchives.com/a/results.php?results=100&search=Vespasian+AND+As+AND+Adler

Best regards

A. C.
