| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing draped figure of Eirene (Pax), the personification of Peace, depicted facing left in flowing robes. Her right arm is extended forward, holding a caduceus — the winged herald's staff entwined with serpents — while her left arm hangs at her side. The Greek legend ΕΙΡΗΝΗ appears in the field, identifying the deity. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachm reverses of the Flavian period, combining Hellenistic iconographic tradition with Roman imperial allegory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian's first regnal year in Alexandria is numismatically loaded. Egypt declared for him in July 69 AD — before the rest of the empire fell into line — making the Alexandria mint one of the earliest producers of Flavian coinage anywhere. The ΕΙΡΗΝΗ reverse was no accident: after the Year of the Four Emperors had burned through Galba, Otho, and Vitellius in rapid succession, peace wasn't an abstraction but an active political argument for the new dynasty's legitimacy.
