| Reverse description | Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, seated right on a throne or chair, rendered in a frontal-facing pose, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a sceptre or long staff in her left. The figure is draped in flowing robes and is depicted with careful attention to drapery folds in the Flavian artistic tradition. The reverse legend PONTIF MAXIM is distributed in the field around the figure, referencing Vespasian's role as Pontifex Maximus, the chief priest of Rome. |
