| Obverse description | Radiate head of Vespasian facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic portraiture of the Flavian dynasty, displaying a broad, fleshy face with pronounced features. The emperor wears a radiate crown, identifying the denomination as a dupondius. The circular legend surrounds the bust, reading IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P COS V CENS in Latin capitals, with the inscription running continuously around the coin's periphery. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic, unidealized style consistent with Flavian numismatic art. |
