Vespasiano. Sestercio. 71 d.C. Roma. (Ric-108). (Ch-404). Anv.: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG PM TR P COS III. Busto laureado de Vespasiano a derecha. Rev.: SC / ROMA. Roma sentada con cetro a derecha sobre las siete colinas, delante el dios Tiber y debajo loba amamantando a Rómulo y Remo. Ae. 25,77 g. Extremadamente rara. EBC. Est...5000,00.
La égida, con la cabeza de Medusa, protege a Vespasiano desde su torso desnudo; el aegis, era símbolo de invulnerabilidad garantizada por los dioses. En reverso, Roma nunca pudo estar mejor representada que en este extraordinario sestercio de Vespasiano, que nos muestra a la homónima Dea Roma, con sceptrum, recostada sobre las siete colinas de Roma, con el dios del río Tiberis a sus pies, y a su lado la loba amamantando a Romulus y a Remus. Esta moneda se acuñó para celebrar la resurrección de Roma porque había sufrido mucho con la guerra civil (68-69 d.C.), pero salió victoriosa bajo el liderazgo de Vespasiano. No más de seis ejemplares conocidos. Con esta calidad, éste es digno de formar parte de las mejores colecciones de sestercios.
