| Reverse description | A large, elaborately rendered laurel wreath occupies the entire reverse field, tied at the base with a bow. Within the wreath, the abbreviated legend S P Q R is inscribed in two lines across the centre, referencing the authority of the Roman Senate and People. The design is austere and deliberately emblematic, evoking the traditional Republican virtues that Vespasian sought to associate with his reign. The wreath is depicted with naturalistic leaf detail characteristic of Flavian die engraving. |
