| Beschrijving keerzijde | The winged goddess Victoria stands in three-quarter pose facing right atop the prow of a warship (rostrum), her outstretched right hand holding a wreath and her left hand grasping a palm frond, both symbols of military triumph. Her robes billow dynamically around her figure, and her wings are spread prominently behind her. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is displayed in the lower field to either side of the prow. The legend VICTORIA NAVALIS arcs around the upper portion of the field, commemorating Vespasian's naval victories. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The VICTORIA NAVALIS reverse type commemorates the decisive Roman naval operations during the Jewish War of 66–70 AD, particularly the campaign on the Sea of Galilee in 67 AD, where Vespasian's forces annihilated the Zealot fleet under command of a force that had no real naval tradition to draw on. It was a lopsided engagement, and Josephus, who was present as a prisoner, recorded the lake running red. Vespasian issued this type in 71 to anchor his dynastic legitimacy to a concrete military victory before the fall of Jerusalem eclipsed everything else.
