Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Au droit, le portrait est réaliste et ressemble aux portraits plus massifs de l’empereur, plus tardifs. Peut-être l’émission a-t-elle débutée avant l’arrivée de l’empereur dans l’Urbs qui était absent de Rome depuis quatre ans. Ce type de revers n’a été frappé qu’en 70 pour l’or et l’argent (RIC. 15). Mais le style du portrait fait aussi penser à Lyon (RIC. 1118). La Judée est toujours assise à droite, voilée, le bras droit posé sur son genou et le bras gauche soutient le menton de la Province qui suivant les exemplaires, est plus ou moins penché vers l’avant dans une attitude de tristesse. Nous trouvons parfois de petites variations dans la représentation du trophée d’armes qui est constitué d’un casque, d’une cuirasse, de boucliers ronds au sol et de boucliers composites sur les bras du trophée .
Type 3 ribbons. On the obverse, the portrait is realistic and resembles the later, more massive portraits of the emperor. Perhaps the issue began before the arrival of the emperor in the Urbs, who had been absent from Rome for four years. This type of reverse was only struck in 70 for gold and silver (RIC. 15). But the style of the portrait is also reminiscent of Lyon (RIC. 1118). Judea is always seated on the right, veiled, her right arm resting on her knee and her left arm supporting the chin of the Province, who, depending on the copy, is more or less leaning forward in an attitude of sadness. We sometimes find small variations in the representation of the trophy of arms, which consists of a helmet, a breastplate, round shields on the ground and composite shields on the arms of the trophy

Historical background


VESPASIAN

(1/07/69-24/06/79)

Vespasien was born on November 17, 9 in Flacrines, near Reate (in Sabine country). He belongs to the Italian municipal bourgeoisie. Aedile in 38, lender in 40, consul in 51, proconsul of Africa in 63, he commanded with Claude the expedition to Brittany. Nero entrusted him with three legions and a proconsular imperium to crush the revolt of Judea in 66. He was proclaimed august on July 1, 69 in Alexandria and his sons, Titus and Domitian, were promoted to Caesar. Vitellius was eliminated on December 20, 69. Titus was directly associated with the government by his father from 71. His reign was devoted to the political and economic restoration of Rome. In 73, he took on the censorship. He died in Reate on June 24, 79.
