| Obverse lettering | A VITELLIVS IMP GERMANICVS (Translation: Aulus Vitellius Imperator Germanicus Aulus Vitellius, supreme commander (Imperator) of the Germans.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas (Liberty) depicted draped, standing facing, with head turned to the right. In her right hand she holds a pileus (the freedman's felt cap, emblematic of liberty), and in her left hand a vindicta (rod or wand), the ceremonial staff used in the Roman ritual of manumission. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical style, with drapery falling in stylised folds. The reverse legend encircles the type, proclaiming the restoration of freedom, a politically charged message issued during the turbulent Year of the Four Emperors. |
