This one is much easier than the Otho, but I really liked the look of it so I bought it. I am interested to know what you think.

Thanks Paul, that is why I bought it. The portrait jumps right off the coin.

I checked out wildwinds for RIC 360 Sear 2316 and it looks a lot like my coin.

The standing Vesta is much more scarcer than seated Vesta... And Echizento; this time you are in a mistake, that isnīt the obverse legend. the emperor is Vespasianus

Itīs nothing at all, this time you was right, Vespasianus has a lot of very similar denarius with "Vesta"...

Well the first letter looked like a T , but I guess it could be a P and the I'mis not visible.
