Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, usually called Vespasian, was the final Roman emperor of the so-called Year of the Four Emperors, which was the year from June 68 to June 69 in which, following Nero’s suicide, three rules came and went in quick succession (Galba, Otho, and Vitellius) before Vespasian took power and held it for ten years.
Vespasian released quite a few coins during his years, and collectors often find some pretty nice examples, both authentic and modern replicas. After Vespasian’s death, two of his sons, Titus and Domitian, became the next two emperors.
