Vespasian Denarius with Vesta in Silver Antoninus Pius Coin Struck more than 2Struck in Rome in AD 71, this silver denarius belongs to the first years of Vespasians restored rule. The portrait is firm and well defined, paired with a reverse that presents Vesta seated in quiet authority, holding a simpulum used in ritual practice. This is a notably strong example, with sharp detail and a clear, expressive portrait. Set in silver with a triple bail, the piece carries both presence and balance when worn
