| Additional information |
Struck in 70 AD, the year Vespasian consolidated power following the catastrophic civil wars of 69 — the Year of the Four Emperors — this denarius belongs to his second consulship issue. The COS ITER legend fixes it precisely within that inaugural year of Flavian rule, before the administrative machinery of a settled regime had fully reasserted itself. Vespasian was still in the east when some of these early issues were struck, the mint working to establish the new dynasty's legitimacy while Jerusalem burned.
