| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian struck heavily on the Vesta type throughout his reign, using the goddess's imagery as deliberate ideological messaging — the restoration of stability and the sacred Roman hearth after the catastrophic civil wars of 69 AD, during which four emperors had held power in a single year. By 73, Vespasian had also assumed the censorship alongside Titus, an office not held since 22 BC, giving him extraordinary power to reconstitute the Senate and recalibrate Roman public religion.
RIC II.1 #524 is among the more precisely documented aurei of his reign thanks to the OCRE die-linkage work.
