| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in the realistic portraiture style characteristic of Flavian coinage, with fleshy features and a strong jaw. The emperor is depicted bare-necked, without drapery. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially off-flan due to the irregular strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the immediate aftermath of the Year of the Four Emperors, this denarius belongs to a short series struck to acknowledge the loyalty of the legions — CONSEN EXERCIT, consensus of the armies — whose support had made Vespasian's accession possible at all. Without the Danubian legions declaring for him in July 69 and the eastern armies he personally commanded, there was no path to Rome. The coin is essentially a public receipt for that debt.
RIC II.1 1382 is among the earlier issues of the Vespasianic series, placing production at the very moment the dynasty was being consolidated rather than celebrated.
