| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Canopic jar of Osiris (Canopus) depicted standing upright and facing right, rendered as a rounded vessel with a human head surmounting the lid, characteristic of the Alexandrian Canopus type used in Ptolemaic and Roman provincial coinage. The figure stands in the right field with the regnal year legend flanking the device. The flan is irregular and somewhat worn, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vitellius never set foot in Egypt. His recognition there was a political formality extended by the Alexandrian mint while Vespasian — then commanding Roman forces in Judaea — was already positioned to contest the throne. Within months of this coin's issue, the eastern legions had declared for Vespasian, and Egypt's prefect Tiberius Julius Alexander declared him emperor on 1 July 69 AD, the date most ancient sources treat as the formal start of his reign. Vitellius was dead by December.
