| Reverse description | Lucius Vitellius, father of the emperor, depicted togate and seated left upon a curule chair. In his extended right hand he holds an olive branch, while his left hand grasps an eagle-tipped sceptre, emblems of his censorial and consular authority. The composition is executed in the classical Roman die-cutting tradition, with the figure occupying the central field. The surrounding legend L VITELLIVS COS III CENSOR encircles the design, commemorating his triple consulship and censorship. |
