| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Aequitas, the personification of equity and fair measure, depicted full-length facing left in draped attire. She extends a scales (libra) in her right hand and holds a long sceptre or rod in her left, both attributes emblematic of just commerce and imperial fairness. The legend AEQVITAS AVGVSTI is distributed in the left and right fields, while the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the central field to either side of the figure. The composition is characteristic of Flavian reverse iconography, presenting the allegorical figure in a calm, static pose within an unadorned field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 77–78 AD, Vespasian had spent nearly a decade stabilizing Roman finances after the catastrophic civil wars of 69 AD left the treasury effectively gutted. The AEQVITAS AVGVSTI type — invoking the personification of fair dealing and equitable weights in commerce — was a deliberate piece of fiscal messaging, reassuring provincials and Roman citizens alike that the new Flavian administration had restored honest monetary practice. Whether the coinage actually reflected that honesty is another matter; Vespasian was notorious for creative revenue extraction, including the urine tax.
