Reverse description A military vexillum (standard) is depicted upright in the center of the field, its fabric panel rendered with incised linear detail above a tapering pole, consistent with Flavian quadrans iconography. Flanking the standard in the field are the large senatorial authorization marks S and C (Senatus Consultum), positioned to either side of the vexillum shaft. The surrounding legend P M TR P P P COS III is inscribed in Latin capitals around the periphery, recording Vespasian's principal offices. The composition is simple and bold, suited to the small module of the quadrans denomination, and the flan displays characteristic irregular edges from hammered striking.
