From the Gasvoda Collection. Ex Savoca 174 (17 September 2023), lot 151 (hammer €1,300).

The early coins of Vespasian and Titus have been traditionally attributed to the mint of Antioch but RPC has reattributed them to Caesarea Maritima. Kraay, Butcher, and McAlee have all recognized that multiple mints struck tetradrachms for the Flavians but identifying the mints has been something of a challenge. Vespasian was hailed emperor by his troops at Caesarea which seems to have become the primary mint for the tetradrachms for the early years in this series. Tetradrachms from the Antioch and Alexandrian mint are of a different style.
