Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, father of the nation, consul for the eighth time.) |
| Reverse description | The goddess Salus, personification of health and well-being, depicted seated to the left upon a high-backed throne, draped in flowing robes. In her extended right hand she holds a patera, the libation dish used in Roman religious rites, while her left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The legend SALVS AVGVSTA arcs around the upper field, and the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower exergual area, confirming this issue was struck under senatorial mandate as was standard for Flavian aes coinage. |
