Commentary


Bien que signalé très tôt (Cohen), nous n’avons pas pu retrouver d’illustration disponible pour ce type frappé à Byzance qui manque aux deux grandes collections du British Museum et du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF. Pour ce type, les auteurs du RPC ont relevé cinq exemplaires.
Although reported very early (Cohen), we have not been able to find any available illustration for this type struck in Byzantium, which is missing from the two major collections of the British Museum and the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF.

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.
