Additional information

Vespasian struck heavily on themes of concordia and dynastic stability throughout the 70s AD — the civil wars of 69 had left four emperors dead in under two years, and the new Flavian regime needed coinage that projected settled, legitimate rule. This particular issue belongs to a concentrated run of types from Rome in 74, the year Vespasian held his fifth consulship alongside Titus.

RIC II.1 1468 is attested across multiple major collections, with RPC II 856 confirming eastern circulation examples as well.
