| Obverse lettering | A VITELLIVS IMP GERMANICVS (Translation: Aulus Vitellius Imperator Germanicus Aulus Vitellius, supreme commander (Imperator) of the Germans.) |
| Reverse description | Mars, god of war, depicted helmeted and wearing only a military cloak (paludamentum), striding vigorously to the left in a dynamic martial pose. In his right hand he carries a spear held forward, while his left hand bears an aquila (legionary eagle standard) and a vexillum (military standard), symbols of Roman army authority and unity. The composition conveys the theme of military consensus that legitimized Vitellius's claim to the throne during the Year of the Four Emperors. The encircling legend CONSENSVS EXERCITVVM appears in the field around the figure. |
