Vespasian 'Military' Denarius
« on: August 02, 2023, 05:58:53 am »
 I love the so called 'military denarii' struck for Vespasian during or in the immediate aftermath of the 69 AD Civil War. They are rare as hen's teeth and seldom come up in trade. Strange portraits, odd legend arrangements, and unique reverse types abound. They open a fascinating window on a time of turmoil and transition.

With a great deal of pleasure, I'm pleased to share my latest acquisition from this rare issue. NB: This coin is from the Curtis Clay Collection.
