| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in fine high relief with characteristic portrait features including a strong brow and naturalistic musculature of the neck and shoulders. The laurel wreath is rendered with careful detail, its individual leaves and binding clearly articulated. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan, framed by a beaded border. The portrait conveys the robust, realistic style typical of Flavian imperial coinage, eschewing idealization in favor of veristic characterization. |

Struck in 70 AD, the year Vespasian's son Titus destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem — an event that flooded Rome with Jewish war spoils and almost certainly supplied the bullion for issues like this one. The "Pax" reverse on Flavian aurei of this period was not incidental messaging; it was a direct political claim that the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors had been conclusively closed by the new dynasty.
