| Vespasian's rise to power wasn't for his looks!, looking like a boxer. This is a good clue because his military skills caused his elevation. His two sons, Titus and Domitian each succeeded him in turn. Silver denarius with laureate head facing right with the legend IMP CAESAR VESPASIANUS AUG. The reverse shows a seated figure of Pax left holding a branch and caduceus, with the legend COS ITER TR POT. Iter = again, indicating he was consul for a 2nd time enabling us to date this coin to 70 AD. |
