Beschrijving keerzijde The winged goddess Victoria stands facing right, her body draped in flowing robes, placing a wreath upon a legionary standard with her raised right hand while holding a palm branch in her lowered left hand. The standard, surmounted by an eagle and decorated with phalerae, stands firmly planted on a base at the right of the field. The composition alludes to imperial military triumph. The legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI encircles the scene.

Aanvullende informatie

Struck in the third and fourth years of Vespasian's reign, this issue belongs to the intensive propaganda campaign following the Flavian victory in the Year of the Four Emperors. The VICTORIA AVGVSTI type appeared across multiple denominations almost immediately after Vespasian consolidated power, partly to legitimize a dynasty with no hereditary claim to the purple — Vespasian rose from a provincial military command, not from the Julio-Claudian bloodline Rome had known for a century.

RIC II.1 1557 is attributable to the Rome mint during a period when the Jewish War's spoils were actively funding construction of the Colosseum, begun in 72 AD.
