Reverse description Two right hands clasped in a dextrarum iunctio (handshake), a prominent symbol of military loyalty and concordance, set centrally in the field above a legionary aquila (eagle standard) mounted on a prow. The composition powerfully evokes Vespasian's reliance on and compact with the Roman legions. The legend FIDES EXERCITVVM arcs across the upper field, while S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower exergue, flanking the standard.
