Vespasian Ephesus COTD

Some of the finest Flavian portraits in silver were done at Ephesus. Needless to say, I'm always happy to add these denarii to my collection.

Wonderful coin David. What a fantastic portrait. I love the portrait style of these master Ephesian engravers.

Thanks Andrew. I love these portraits too. IMHO, Ephesus consistently produced more stylish portraits than any other Vespasianic mint.
