| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate head of Vespasian facing right, with a globe at the point of the neck truncation, rendered in a robust portrait style characteristic of Flavian coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a realistic, aged physiognomy with individualized features. The encircling legend, partially visible through patination, is arranged around the periphery of the flan. The overall strike is somewhat irregular, consistent with hammered production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the tenth year of Vespasian's reign, this issue belongs to a concentrated period of Flavian building propaganda tied directly to the sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the triumphal wealth it poured into Rome. The construction of the Colosseum — funded explicitly by Judaean spoils — was well underway by 77-78, and the mint output of these years reflects a deliberate policy of associating Flavian rule with Roman martial supremacy. Orichalcum dupondii were the workhorse denomination for this kind of ideological messaging, reaching a broader circulation demographic than silver.
