VDubG New Member Romania 2 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 4:43 pm I just found an coin , on one side it says L.Vitellivs Imperator , on the other side its a flag and it says Ville de Vittel , ( villet de vittel its a place in france and the flag is coresponding to that place ) . I didnt found any similar Vitellivs coin , could this be a very very rare coin or just a fake ? the coin have like 3.5cm if I remember well . here are some pictures. and I am from Europe, Romania .

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 10:24 pm Was there any claim that Vittel was named for the emperor Vitellius? And if so, why the "L?" His father was Lucius Vitellius, Roman consul, though. Report this Post to the Staff

His father has a curly hair. I will send an email to Vittel city and ask them if they know something. thank you , also do you think is worth something ? Report this Post to the Staff
