Commentary


Poids léger. Au droit, la puissance tribunitienne est noté par “T P” au lieu de “TR P”. Il ne s’agit pas d’une erreur, c’est un des rares exemples de cette abréviation. Au revers la Félicité tient un globe au lieu du caducée. Le seul exemplaire signalé provient de la collection Vierordt (5 mars 1923, n° 995).
Lightweight. On the obverse, the tribunician power is noted by “TP” instead of “TR P”. This is not an error; it is one of the rare examples of this abbreviation. On the reverse, Felicity holds a globe instead of the caduceus. The only example reported comes from the Vierordt collection (March 5, 1923, no. 995)

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.
