背面描述	A vexillum (military standard) is depicted centrally in the field, shown as a fringed rectangular banner suspended from a transverse crossbar atop a vertical staff, its base planted firmly at the bottom of the flan. The S C (Senatus Consultum) monogram appears flanking the lower portion of the standard in the field to left and right, authorizing the bronze coinage by decree of the Senate. The surrounding Latin legend carries Vespasian's titulature and is partially legible around the periphery of the irregular flan.

附加信息	Vespasian's small bronze coinage of 71 AD was issued in the immediate aftermath of the Jewish War, the same year his triumph through Rome celebrated the sack of Jerusalem. The quadrans circulated at the lowest denomination of the Roman monetary system, used for everyday market transactions invisible to the historical record — bread, olives, a cup of cheap wine. RIC II.1 340 belongs to the substantial reorganization of the Roman mint under Vespasian, who overhauled imperial coinage after the chaos of 69 AD had left multiple competing mints striking in his name.
