Donna, those coins are magnificent! I also enjoy the details you have included. Reading your list was very enjoyable.

Wow David, that is a fantastic top ten! My favourite is the Vespasian denarius without the mintmark. The Ephesian portraits are my favourite Flavian portraits. I am so happy that the secular games denarius is now in your collection. I was thrilled that it went to a good home.

Hi all, I have once again found a Flavian denarius which has been misattributed. The portrait is very special and was the reason I gave this coin a second glance when I saw it in an Artemide auction. I guess that most just passed it by because of the condition, not recognizing that this was not the Rome mint example. I have had a number of the Spanish denarii for Vespasian, and so I was immediately intrigued. There are also dots in the legend. I count myself lucky to have found this one, and to have grabbed it for the opening bid! I love this one because to features portraits of all of the Flavian Emperors. I think that is pretty cool. Please note that the portrait of Vespasian bears a striking resemblance to to the Spanish denarii of Galba. Please post your favourite coin of Vespasian.
