| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in 75 AD, this aureus belongs to Vespasian's sixth consulship, a year in which the Flavian dynasty was consolidating power with deliberate ideological purpose. The Victory type was not incidental — Vespasian built his entire claim to legitimacy on the Jewish War, and the ongoing Judaea Capta propaganda campaign, still active years after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, made Victory imagery politically load-bearing in a way it simply wasn't for earlier emperors.
RIC II.1 #775 is among the better-documented Vespasianic aurei, attributed to the Rome mint under the revised Carradice and Buttrey framework that substantially reclassified the earlier RIC II listings.
