Reverse description Standing draped figure of Libertas (the personification of Liberty) facing front with head turned to the right. In her raised right hand she holds a pileus (the freedman's cap, symbol of liberty), while her left hand extends a vindicta (rod or wand). The reverse legend LIBERTAS RESTITVTA is distributed in the field around the figure, proclaiming the restoration of freedom, a propagandistic message prominent in Vitellius's brief reign during the Year of the Four Emperors.
