| Reverse description | A winged thunderbolt, rendered with outstretched wings and volutes at each end, rests upon a low draped throne or curule chair set on a stepped plinth. The composition is centrally placed in the field with no exergue inscription, and the surrounding legend runs continuously around the border within a beaded rim. The thunderbolt, as the attribute of Jupiter, symbolizes the divine status conferred upon Vespasian. The throne type reverse is characteristic of Trajanic restitution aurei honoring deified predecessors. |
