Si evince dalla tabella che le
caratteristiche fisiche del sesterzio di figura (23g, 35,3mm, 6 h) rientrano
nei margini di variabilità dei conî d'epoca,.
(2)La
presenza di un globetto all'apice del busto sembra indicare che la moneta
fu battuta dalla zecca di Lugdunum.
(3)Il
71 è l'anno del terzo consolato di Vespasiano.
(4)IMPerator
CAESar VESPASIANus AVGustus Pontifex Maximus TRibunicia Potestate Pater
Patriae COnSul III.
(5)La
Roma in abito militare celebra la vittoria dell'Urbe e la successiva pacificazione
dell'impero conseguita con la forza delle armi. |
