| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, with drapery on the left shoulder, rendered in the robust, realistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian-era coinage. The emperor's effigy displays the characteristic strong facial features and receding hairline associated with Vespasian's official likeness. A laurel wreath crowns the head, symbolising imperial and military authority. The circumferential Latin legend runs clockwise around the bust within a beaded border. The overall die work reflects the confident engraving style of the Rome mint under the early Flavian dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian struck this issue in 71 AD, the year following his formal acclamation as emperor after the brutal chaos of 69 — the Year of the Four Emperors — and the fall of Jerusalem to Titus. The PAX AVGVSTI legend was a deliberate political statement: peace restored not by luck but by Flavian authority, backed by military victory in Judaea and the suppression of Vitellius.
RIC II.1 #184 belongs to the early Flavian reorganization of the Roman mint at Rome, which had been badly disrupted under Galba, Otho, and Vitellius in rapid succession.
