| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic fleshy, naturalistic portraiture typical of Julio-Claudian die-cutting. A small globe appears at the truncation of the neck, a symbol of imperial dominion over the world. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays robust modeling of the facial features, consistent with the brief but historically significant coinage of AD 69. |
