Newp: Vitellius denarius, 69 AD

Scratch off another of the Twelve Caesars for me, and one of the "Year Of Four Emperors" guys at the same time.

I do believe I have seen this one some place else

Nice coin!

Decent portrait with almost full legends on both sides. Congrats!

For not much more money (an additional 20-30 bucks or so), I had the option of two other coins that were in slightly higher grade, but they were missing portions of the obverse legend and emperor's name due to less perfect centering. I decided this somewhat lower grade piece had a nice enough look- the full legends were what sold me, and I find the portrait to be good enough.

Really like the look of it, LordM! Is there a list somewhere with your progress on this set?

EDIT: Ooops, I saw the list in the BST thread - way to go!

Oh, yeah, I also added Licinius II.

For somebody who was murdered at age nine, he sure looks grown up and warlike on his coins!
