Commentary
Ce type est très rare, il manque notamment aux collections de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France ou du British Museum. Il est plus facile de le trouver avec une tête à gauche. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un aureus pour le cinquième consulat de Vespasien ! La monnaie est de mêmes coins que l’exemplaire vendu par Numismatica Ars Classica dans l’auction 51 du 5 mars 2009 et qui sert de monnaie référence (RIC et Calico). Il semblerait que ce soit le deuxième exemplaire connu.
