| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P P P COS IIII CENS (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Pater Patriae, Consul Quartum, Censor. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, father of the nation, consul for the fourth time, censor.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Roma stands facing left in a martial pose, depicted as a helmeted female figure clad in short military dress, her right hand extended holding a patera or small object, and her left hand resting on a tall vertical spear or sceptre. The figure stands on a ground line, conveying imperial authority and the eternal power of the city of Rome. The legend ROMA appears to the left of the figure, with the large senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure in the field to either side. The composition is bold and monumental, consistent with official Flavian bronze coinage struck at the Rome Mint. |
