| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Aequitas, goddess of equity and fair dealing, stands in full figure facing left at centre of the field. She is draped in a long chiton and wears a modius on her head. In her extended left hand she holds a balance scale with both pans clearly visible, and in her right hand she grasps a long vertical rod or sceptre. The two-line legend TR POT COS III is disposed in the field to the left and right of the figure, with the abbreviation III partially visible at lower right, consistent with Vespasian's third consulship of AD 71. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian's third consulship in 71 AD coincided with the immediate aftermath of the Jewish War — Titus had sacked Jerusalem the previous year, and the Flavian regime was aggressively monetizing its victory through a sustained propaganda campaign on gold and silver. The appearance of Aequitas on issues from this moment is pointed: a new dynasty, founded by a general rather than inherited bloodline, had particular need to project fiscal legitimacy and equitable rule to a Roman aristocracy that had watched three emperors die in a single year.
