| Reverse description | The goddess Vesta, veiled and fully draped, is depicted seated to the right upon an ornate throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The composition is typical of Flavian-era reverse types invoking the state religion and the continuity of Roman sacral authority. The figure is rendered in a classical style with careful attention to drapery folds. The reverse legend PONT MAXIM, referencing Vitellius's title of Pontifex Maximus, appears in the field around the deity within a beaded border. |
