Reverse description Vespasian standing left in military dress, leaning on a long sceptre held in his left hand, while Roma, helmeted and in military attire, stands to the right and presents him with a small statuette of Victory. The composition emphasizes the legitimacy of Vespasian's rule through the symbolic conferral of victory by the personification of Rome. The senatorial authority is denoted by the large S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central figures in the field. The full reverse legend encircles the scene, referencing Vespasian's second consulship and tribunician power.
