Hello Everyone. As you can see, this is a
Vespasian As with
Spes reverse (no
legend). The
obverse legend is very widely spaced as I M P C A E S A R V E S, which wide spacing of
IMP CAESAR is known for this
type. There is
smoothing between all these letters. There are eleven characters after the S, unsmoothed. Try as I might, that letter after S is no P. There might be some traces of a first strike on top of a few letters there, but that
still doesn't make the letter a P. Blown-up, it looks like VESINIAN... any ideas? Wild
goose chase?
