Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and draped bust of Vespasian facing right, rendered with characteristic realism: a broad, fleshy face with prominent brow and strong jaw, the wreath of laurel tied at the back. The paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder, its folds rendered with detailed drapery. The effigy is positioned within a beaded border, with the Latin legend encircling the portrait in well-spaced capital letters.

Aanvullende informatie

Vespasian struck VICTORIA AVGVSTI coinage in 71 AD to celebrate the Flavian triumph over Judaea, formally concluded the previous year with the destruction of Jerusalem and the sack of the Temple. The sestertius series from this moment formed part of a deliberate propaganda campaign — the IVDAEA CAPTA issues being the most explicit, but the Victory types running parallel as a broader assertion of military legitimacy for a dynasty that had seized power through civil war rather than inheritance.

RIC II.1 128 is among the earlier draped bust varieties catalogued for this year, distinguished from related types by the S C placement beginning low left.
