The founder of the Flavian dynasty had behind him, at the age of sixty, a brilliant military career that was what prompted him to be proclaimed emperor. His mandate, which lasted just ten years, meant restoring some order to public finances, establishing peace on the borders as well as initiating major public works (after the fire that devastated Rome), among which the construction of the well-known Roman Colosseum stands out. . On his coins appear portraits that are, artistically, a continuation of the line established by Galba: uncompromising realism, severe strokes and an absence of superfluous embellishments. The care taken in the representation of the hairstyles is noteworthy, both in those of the emperor, with a solid head, and in those of his wife Flavia Domitilla, who despite her very humble origins ended up having the posthumous title of Augusta.
