The obverse legend in Greek characters runs around the periphery, incorporating the regnal year date L Η (Year 8) within the field. The portrait displays the characteristic broad facial features associated with Vespasian's official iconography, with the laurel wreath rendered in fine detail despite the worn surfaces. |
