| Reversbeschreibung | Two confronted bare busts of Vitellius's children — his son Aulus Germanicus (left, facing right) and his daughter Vitellia (right, facing left) — rendered in youthful, unidealized portraiture. The two busts face one another across the central field, their truncations nearly touching at the base. The encircling legend LIBERI IMP GERMAN, in Latin capitals, identifies them as the children of the Imperator Germanicus. A beaded border runs along the rim. This dynastic reverse type, glorifying the emperor's offspring, is characteristic of Vitellius's brief propaganda program during his short reign in AD 69. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Vitellius reigned for just eight months in 69 AD, the Year of the Four Emperors, before being dragged through Rome and executed by Vespasian's forces. This aureus honoring his children — issued to project dynastic legitimacy he never lived to establish — was struck at a moment when the empire was functionally at war with itself, with Othonian and then Flavian armies advancing from the Danube.
RIC I 78 is among the scarcer emissions of his brief reign, a direct consequence of how little time the Vitellian mint had to operate before the regime collapsed.
