As - Vespasian AEQVITAS AVGVSTI S C, Aequitas

By 77–78 AD, Vespasian's administration had spent nearly a decade rebuilding Rome's finances after the civil wars of 69 AD left the treasury effectively empty. The AEQVITAS AVGVSTI reverse was a deliberate fiscal message — Aequitas, the personification of fair dealing in weights and measures, was invoked specifically to reassure provincial commerce that the imperial coinage had been stabilized and debased no further. Vespasian himself was unusually candid about his revenue methods, famously defending a tax on public urinals with the remark that money has no smell.
