| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES VESPAS AVG P M TR P P P COS III (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Pater Patriae, Consul Tertium. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, father of the nation, consul for the third time.) |
| Reverse description | The goddess Concordia is depicted seated left upon a high-backed throne, her figure draped in flowing robes. In her right hand she extends a patera over a lighted altar, while her left arm rests upon the throne holding a cornucopia, emblems of divine harmony and prosperity. The legend CONCOR AVG is distributed in the upper field, while the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the lower exergual area, affirming the senate's authorization of this bronze issue. The composition reflects the Flavian propaganda of restored civic concord following the turbulent Year of the Four Emperors. |
