Vespasian. A.D. 69-79. Æ dupondius (27.0 mm, 12.63 g, 7 h). Rome mint, for use in Syria, struck A.D. 74. IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG , laureate head left / PON•MAX•TR•POT•P•P•COS V•CENS•, winged caduceus between two crossed cornucopias. RIC 757; BMCRE 888; RPC 1983; McAlee 369. Fine, deposits.

Though McAlee places this issue as struck for use in Syria, the updated RIC II places it instead as minted in association with the Syrian issues, for domestic use rather than for export.
