| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas (Liberty) stands facing left in full figure, rendered in the classicizing style typical of early Flavian imperial bronzes. She holds a pileus (freedman's cap) in her extended right hand, symbolizing emancipation, and a long vindicta (rod) in her left hand. The senatorial mark of authority S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the figure in the field to either side. The surrounding legend LIBERTAS PVBLICA runs around the periphery, affirming the propagandistic message of restored public freedom under Vespasian's reign. |
