Vespasian. 69-79 A.D. Ephesus Mint. 71 A.D. (3.02g, 16.6m, 7h). Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPAS AVG COS III TR P P P, laureate head right. Rev: CONCORXIA AVG, Ceres std. l. on ornate high-backed chair, with corn ears, poppy, and cornucopiae, in exergue, EPHE. RIC II 1428, BMC 453, RSC 67. Ex CNG.
Although porous, this eastern issue denarius has full legends and is well centered. The EPHE in exergue is on the flan, and very clear. This is part of the series of Flavian denarii minted in Ephesus with a series of issue marks, making an interesting collection area in its own right.
