Vespasian Æ As. Lugdunum, AD 71. IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG COS III, laureate head to right, globe at point of bust / VICTORIA AVGVSTI, Victory advancing to left, holding wreath and palm; S-C across fields. RIC II.2 1177; C. -; BMCRE -. 11.92g, 29mm, 7h.
Good Very Fine.
From a private English collection;
Ex Karl Grohs-Fligely (1875-1962) Collection, Vienna;
Reportedly also Ex Hollscheck Collection, acquired from F. Walla, Vienna;
Old collector's ticket included which is dated 1787.
The reverse type seen here is taken from Dupondii and Asses of Nero, while late Neronian bronzes of this reverse type also exist with countermarks of Vespasian, both of which indicate that there was some period of transition between the two emperors.
