| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two soldiers standing facing one another, clasping right hands in a dextrarum iunctio gesture symbolising military accord, each figure holding an aquila (legionary eagle standard) in the outer hand. The scene powerfully evokes the loyalty and unity of the Roman legions that proclaimed Vespasian emperor during the civil war of AD 69. The reverse legend CONSENSVS EXERCITVS is distributed across the field, flanking the central figural group. The type belongs to a celebrated series of Flavian dynastic propaganda coinage emphasising military consensus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the chaotic months following Nero's death, this issue belongs to a group explicitly celebrating military consensus — the CONSENSVS EXERCITVS types were propaganda in the most direct sense, acknowledging that Vespasian's claim to power rested entirely on his legions rather than senatorial legitimacy. Four emperors died in 69 AD. Vespasian survived because the eastern armies, then the Danubian legions, committed to him in sequence.
RIC II.1 1350 is attributed to the uncertain eastern mint active in 69–70, possibly Antioch.
