This ancient Roman coin is a rare find from the Imperial era, specifically during the reign of Emperor Vespasian from 72-73 AD. The denomination is a Dupondius and it bears the well worn face of Emperor Vespasian.

Vespasian was a Roman emperor (69–79 CE) whose fiscal reforms and consolidation of the empire made his reign a period of political stability and funded a vast Roman building program which included the Temple of Peace, the Colosseum, and restoration of the capitol.

This large Dupondius is a true testament to ancient Roman coin makers and holds immense historical significance as it is over 2000 years old. It's a must-have for any collector of ancient artifacts.
