| Beschrijving keerzijde | Winged Victory personified as a draped female figure advancing to the right, holding a laurel wreath in her extended right hand and a long palm branch in her left hand. The figure is rendered with flowing drapery in classical style, conveying swift motion and divine favor. The reverse legend, divided across the field, proclaims the victory of Otho, a propagandistic motif intended to assert his legitimacy during the civil wars of AD 69. The composition is typical of imperial Roman iconography celebrating military and political success. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otho ruled for just three months in 69 AD before his defeat at the First Battle of Bedriacum against Vitellius's forces prompted him to take his own life — reportedly to spare further Roman bloodshed. That a victory type was struck at all during so compressed a reign speaks to the speed of imperial mint operations rather than any actual military triumph worth commemorating. RIC I 14 is among the scarcer of his documented types, the total output of his Rome mint necessarily limited by a reign measured in weeks.
