Beschrijving keerzijde Victory, depicted as a winged female figure in flowing garments, stands facing left, affixing a large oval shield to a trophy consisting of captured arms and armour. At the base of the trophy, a barbarian captive is seated to the left in a posture of subjugation, alluding to Roman military triumph in Judaea. The composition is deeply cut and dynamic, conveying imperial power and conquest. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field, flanking the central device. The legend VICTORIA AVG arcs across the upper field, proclaiming the victory of the emperor.

Aanvullende informatie

Vespasian's first full year as undisputed emperor followed the catastrophic civil war of 69 AD — a year that burned through four emperors — and his mints worked aggressively to flood circulation with imagery reinforcing his legitimacy. Victory types were particularly prominent in 71, coinciding with the formal triumph celebrated in Rome for the suppression of the Jewish revolt, in which Vespasian and his son Titus paraded captives and temple spoils through the city. The orichalcum dupondius denomination had been reserved for Victory and related types since Augustus, a convention Vespasian was careful to maintain.
