Reverse description An eagle stands facing on a garlanded altar, its wings spread broadly and its head turned to the right, perched atop a thunderbolt — the traditional emblem of Jovian authority. The altar is depicted as a low cylindrical base adorned with festoons of garland, conveying religious and imperial significance. The reverse type alludes to Vespasian's divine mandate and Flavian dynastic ideology. The abbreviated consular legend COS VII appears in the field, referencing Vespasian's seventh consulship held in AD 76. The composition is bold and well-centered, characteristic of the Rome mint's output during this period.
