| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Concordia is depicted seated left upon a high-backed throne, her figure rendered in three-quarter view. She extends her right hand forward, likely holding a patera, while her left arm rests upon the throne and may hold a cornucopia or sceptre. The composition is enclosed by a circular Latin legend reading CONCORDIA AVGVSTI around the upper field, with the large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) prominently displayed in the lower exergual field on either side of the throne base. The reverse type was a common propaganda device employed during the civil war year of AD 69 to project imperial harmony and legitimacy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vitellius held power for less than eight months in 69 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors — and his coinage was struck under considerable political pressure to project legitimacy he never fully secured. The CONCORDIA AVGVSTI type was a deliberate message to the legions, invoked at a moment when military loyalty was genuinely fractured across the Rhine, Danube, and eastern frontiers simultaneously.
He was dead by December, killed by Vespasian's forces in Rome's streets.
