| Reversbeschreibung | Two clasped right hands (dextrarum iunctio) depicted in the center of the field, symbolizing the pledge of loyalty between the emperor and his armies. The legend FIDES EXERCITVVM is inscribed in the upper field, while the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the lower exergual area, flanking the central device. The design is rendered in relatively low relief on an irregular flan, with the reverse type closely associated with Vitellius's reliance on military support for his claim to the throne during the civil wars of AD 69. The reverse composition is characteristic of the Rome Mint aes coinage of this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Vitellius held power for less than a year in 69 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors — and his bronzes were struck in Rome during a period when the mint was essentially producing loyalty propaganda as fast as it could. The FIDES EXERCITVVM reverse was a direct appeal to military allegiance, issued while Vespasian's forces were already moving against him from the east. Vitellius was dead by December of that year, killed near the Gemonian Stairs.
