| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in 71 AD, the year following Vespasian's consolidation of power after the catastrophic civil wars of 69 — the Year of the Four Emperors — this issue belongs to a programmatic early campaign to legitimize a new dynasty with no hereditary claim to the throne. The Pax coinage was not incidental; it was deliberate political architecture, tying Vespasian's name directly to the peace he had restored after Galba, Otho, and Vitellius had torn the empire apart in eighteen months.
The fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD under Titus added a military dimension to that peace narrative that Rome exploited aggressively in its mint output throughout 71.
