Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Pour ce type qui semble anodin, nous avons deux types de revers différents : le premier avec AVGVR/ PON MAX (RIC. 42) et le second avec TRI POT (RIC 43) comme sur notre exemplaire, deniers qui ont tous les deux été frappés en 71 et font référence au grand pontificat et à l’aspect sacré de celui qui est revêtu de la puissance tribunitienne. Le revers AVGVR/ TRI POT sera ensuite réutilisé associé à une nouvelle légende de droit : IMP CAES VESP P M COS IIII, frappé en 72-73.
Light weight. Type 3 ribbons. For this seemingly innocuous type, we have two different types of reverse: the first with AVGVR/ PON MAX (RIC. 42) and the second with TRI POT (RIC 43) as on our example, denarii which were both struck in 71 and refer to the great pontificate and the sacred aspect of the one who is invested with tribunician power. The reverse AVGVR/ TRI POT will then be reused associated with a new legend of right: IMP CAES VESP PM COS IIII, struck in 72-73

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.
