| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Flavian portraiture, with strong facial features and wreathed brow. The circumferential legend runs along the outer border of the flan in incuse Latin capitals, reading partially IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P P P COS IIII CENS. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic mature physiognomy, with a broad neck and squared jaw, consistent with official imperial effigy types of the early Flavian period. |
