Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, with strongly modelled features characteristic of Flavian portraiture, the neck truncated below. The imperial laureate wreath is rendered with careful detail, and the emperor's mature physiognomy — prominent brow, broad jaw, and close-cropped hair — is faithfully depicted in the realistic Flavian style. The encircling legend runs from lower left to upper right around the periphery of the flan, bordered by a beaded rim.

Aanvullende informatie

Vespasian struck heavily in the name of Concordia during 71 AD, the year following the decisive end of the Year of the Four Emperors. After Otho, Vitellius, and Galba had each died violently within months of one another, the message was pointed: the civil wars were over, and the new Flavian dynasty was not going anywhere. The Senate Consulto attribution confirms this as an official senatorial bronze, part of a coordinated mint output meant to saturate Rome with stabilizing imagery.

RIC II.1 #297 places this among the earliest consolidated Flavian aes issues out of Rome.
