| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered in bold high relief with strongly individualized portrait features typical of Julio-Claudian die-cutting. A small globe appears at the truncation of the neck, a symbolic reference to imperial dominion over the world. The surrounding legend reads A VITELLIVS IMP GERMAN, arranged clockwise in crisp, deeply incised Latin capitals. The portrait displays characteristic fleshy facial features associated with known likenesses of Vitellius. The field is smooth and slightly convex, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the early Imperial period. |
