Vespasian. Aureus. 77-78 AD. Rome. (Ric-II 935). (Bmcre-204). (Calicó-624a). Anv.: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG. Laureated bust right.

Au. 7,29 g. Traces of luster and nice color. Rare, even more with the bust looking right.

When Nero committed suicide and the Roman Empire plunged into civil war, Vespasian was in the midst of besieging the city of Jerusalem. On July 1st, 69 AD, the Roman legions stationed in Egypt and Judea proclaimed Vespasian emperor. On December 20th of the same year, Vespasian triumphed over his rival Vitellius, and his appointment was confirmed by the Senate the following day.

Vespasian’s reign was marked by a series of financial reforms and ambitious construction projects. His most famous achievement is undoubtedly the Colosseum in Rome, an amphitheater of unprecedented size. Through his legate Agricola, he also continued the conquest of Britain.

Despite his reputation for being austere (even stingy) Vespasian emerged as a patron of the arts, establishing a special allowance for artists: rhetoricians, poets, and sculptors were effectively placed on the state’s payroll.

After his death in 79 AD, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Titus. Vespasian thus became the first Roman emperor to be succeeded by his own biological son, marking the beginning of the Flavian dynasty. Almost XF. Est...9000,00.
