Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Semble de la plus grande rareté. Il pourrait s’agir d’un hybride, frappé en début 73. Les références à la Concorde seront fréquemment employées par la plupart des empereurs. Ici, elle possède ses attributs traditionnels, assise, tenant une patère et une corne d’abondance.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from all consulted works. Appears to be extremely rare. It could be a hybrid, struck in early 73. References to Concordia would be frequently used by most emperors. Here, she has her traditional attributes, seated, holding a patera and a cornucopia

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.
