caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 04:46 am Looks too young to be Vespasian. Is that CERES holding torch and grain ears on the reverse? If so, most likely Titus. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 11:48 am For some reason they put the IMP well under the bust which you don't normally see on most coins. I can just make out what looks like an MP which would make the coin Vespasian. Report this Post to the Staff
chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 3:11 pm Sort of related, is there any rhyme or reason as to why some Flavian dynasty coins have clockwise inscriptions and some have counter-clockwise inscriptions? Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 4:21 pm good question..... I have no idea. Report this Post to the Staff
Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 03:17 am There is a reason, it´s chronological; from one date to other you find all the obverse and reverse legends with one disposition, from a determined date they changed the disposition, and there was a third change... I´m looking in my books for the exact changes that they made... Report this Post to the Staff
