| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, depicted with the characteristic realistic portraiture of the Flavian period, rendering the emperor's mature, slightly fleshy features with austere authority. The bust is draped, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading from the lower left and running clockwise around the entire periphery of the flan. The die work is typical of the Rome Mint under the Flavians, combining propagandistic imperial imagery with competent engraving. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian struck heavily in bronze during the early 70s as part of a deliberate effort to restore public confidence after the civil wars of 69 AD had left the Roman monetary system in disarray. The PAX AVGVST types were not incidental — peace iconography was central to Flavian political messaging, directly tied to the suppression of the Jewish revolt and the close of the Year of the Four Emperors.
RIC II.1 590 is a Rome mint issue. The S C authorization formula on the bronze confirms senatorial nominal oversight of the aes coinage, a convention maintained under Vespasian despite his consolidation of effective imperial control over the mint.
