Unlisted variant of a Vespasian As
« on: January 14, 2021, 02:39:18 pm »
Hello everyone.

I'm always on the lookout for new types and variants and I've been lucky to spot this one.

Until now only PAX AVGVST was recorded for the asses struck in 73 A.D., while this one has a pretty clear PAX AVGVSTI, with the final "I".

I forwarded the coin to prof Ian Carradice, who provisionally assigned the number 589A.

I'm pleased to share it here.

Alberto
