| Reverse description | Standing figure of Fortuna Redux facing left, rendered in flowing drapery and depicted holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm — attributes emblematic of her role as the goddess who ensures a safe return and prosperity. The figure is elegantly posed with a slight contrapposto stance, occupying the central field of the flan. The reverse legend COS ITER FORT RED is distributed in the field to the left and right of the deity, referencing Vespasian's second consulship and invoking Fortuna Redux, a cult title popularized under the Julio-Claudians and revived under the Flavians. The reverse type is closely related to Vespasian's return to Rome following the Jewish War and his acclamation as emperor. |
