RIC 0319 VespasianÆ As, 11.84g
Rome mint, 71 AD
Obv: IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: SALVS AVGVSTI; S C in field; Salus resting on column r., feeding snake out of patera
RIC 319 (R2). BMC 619A. BNC -.
Ex Rex Numismatics, Auction 1, 15 July 2023, lot 348.

Salus resting on column and feeding snake is an extremely rare type for Vespasian, it is more commonly associated with the denarii struck for Domitian Caesar. This Salus type may be attributed to the health and well-being of the emperor. It is known for Vespasian only from a unique dupondius (RIC 60) and this as variety, of which only a few specimens have been recorded. Whatever the cause for the type being struck for Vespasian, it must have been fleeting based on the scarcity of the pieces. A reverse die match with the BM specimen.

BCC CG44 Red Slip Ware WreathRoman Pottery Fragment
Caesarea Maritima
1st-5th century CE?
Rim and wall fragment of a thin, delicately
formed Roman terracotta red-slip bowl.
Decorated with a double row of impressed,
kidney-shaped leaf designs, resembling a
wreath encircling the vessel half-way between
the rim and the base. These depressions are
visible as slight protrusions on the interior of
the piece. The lip is augmented with a 1.1cm.
wide band divided by an incised double groove.
There is a faint corresponding groove on the
interior of the rim. Moulded, wheel made and
incised, the interior and exterior surfaces are
marked with fine horizontal striations. There
is a slight angularity near the bottom of the wall
as it transitions into the base. The matrix is a
fine-grained, light reddish-tan clay with minor
porosity. Ringing sound when dropped.
5.0 x 3.8 x 0.3cm. (rim 0.6cm.) 9.64gm.
