I really like the portrait, he looks so friendly and gentle, which is rare in Imperial portraiture. Makes me wonder if that was calculated to go along with the Annona reverse, which is all about highlighting the generosity and concern of the emperor.

Yes, about as kindly a portrait of Vespasian you're likely to see. Very nice!
