| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Spes (Hope) stands in the field facing left in full figure, her robes draped about her body. She raises a flower in her extended right hand and gathers her skirt with her lowered left hand, in the canonical pose of the deity as established in Roman coinage. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the field to either side of the figure, flanking her at mid-body level. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian's later bronze issues, struck after the civil wars of 69 AD had thoroughly destabilized Rome's currency, were part of a deliberate policy to restore confidence in the coinage system. The Flavian mints worked at high volume through the 70s, and the SC bronzes of 76 specifically belong to a productive run from Rome in the last years of Vespasian's reign before his death in 79.
Spes as a reverse type had particular resonance under the Flavians — hope for dynastic continuity was a genuine political preoccupation, with Titus and Domitian both waiting in the succession.
