| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, with a small globe positioned at the point of the neck truncation, a distinctive iconographic detail affirming his universal dominion. The portrait renders Vitellius with characteristic fleshy features and a short neck, reflecting the realistic portraiture style of the Flavian period. The encircling legend is arranged along the coin's periphery in crisp Latin capitals. The overall composition is typical of the Rome mint denarii issued during Vitellius's brief reign in AD 69. |
