| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered with characteristic realistic portraiture typical of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor is depicted with a strongly modeled, mature face, short hair beneath the radiate crown, and a draped bust truncated at the shoulder. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS VIII P P, distributed around the full circumference of the flan. The portrait displays the bold, unflattering realism associated with Vespasian's numismatic image, emphasizing his age and authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fortuna Redux — "Fortuna who brings safe return" — was not a generic prosperity cult but a specific divine invocation tied to the emperor's return from military campaigns or provincial travel. Vespasian revived and formalized the cult after his return from Judaea, where he had commanded the siege of Jerusalem before Nero's death pulled him toward Rome and the throne. The FORTVNAE REDVCI epithet on this issue carries that specific biographical weight, not merely a pious platitude.
