Vespasian assumed the censorship in 73 AD alongside his son Titus — the first emperor to hold the office since Claudius — using it to purge and reconstitute the Senate after the upheavals of the Year of the Four Emperors. The CENSOR title appearing in the legend dates this issue precisely to that censorial year, making it one of the more historically pinpointed coins in the Flavian series.
RIC II.1 760 is a Rome mint issue from a reign that systematically reformed the coinage after Nero's debasements. The dupondius denomination was distinguished from the as by the radiate crown, a convention Vespasian maintained consistently throughout his issues.
