Two Rare Bronzes of Vespasian
« on: June 08, 2020, 06:21:37 am »
Hello all!

Recently I was able to acquire two fairly scarce and desirable middle bronzes struck for Vespasian.


The first I wish to share is an extremely eye-catching dupondius struck at Lyon.

The second is a 'Judaea Capta' As struck during the great bronze issue of 71 at Rome.
