| Obverse lettering | IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII (Translation: Imperator Titus Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Pater Patriae, Consul Octavum. Supreme commander (Imperator) Titus Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, father of the nation, consul for the eighth time.) |
| Reverse description | The goddess Vesta is depicted seated to the left on a high-backed throne, rendered in draped attire with veil. She extends her right hand forward, holding the Palladium — the sacred cult statue of Pallas Athena — while her left hand rests on a long transverse sceptre. The monogram SC (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the field, with S to the left and C to the right of the enthroned figure, denoting senatorial authorisation for the issue. The legend VESTA appears in the lower exergual area, identifying the deity and underscoring the religious significance of this type, likely connected to the restoration of the Temple of Vesta after the fire of AD 80. |
