It has been proposed that the cow depicted on this type is one of the famous statues by the fifth century BCE Greek sculptor Myron.  Myron's statues were brought to Rome by Augustus and were placed in the temple of Apollo on the Palatine in 28 BCE. Vespasian moved them to the new Temple of Pax that he began constructing in 71 CE, to celebrate the end of the Jewish War.
