| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Victoria (Victory) is depicted advancing left, her winged figure rendered in flowing drapery that billows behind her. She holds a wreath extended forward in her right hand and carries a palm branch over her left shoulder, standard attributes of the goddess in Roman imperial iconography. The composition conveys dynamic forward motion, and the figure occupies the full height of the reverse field. The legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI is distributed around the periphery in Latin capital letters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The quinarius aureus — half the value of a standard aureus — was never a workhorse denomination. Vespasian revived it selectively, and issues from 74 AD fall squarely within his broader effort to project military legitimacy after the civil wars of 69 and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70. The Victoria type was not incidental; Vespasian built much of his dynastic claim on the Judean triumph, and Victory imagery circulated as deliberate political currency throughout his reign.
RIC II.1 #709 is among the scarcer Vespasianic gold types precisely because the quinarius aureus was produced in limited quantities by design.
