| Reverse description | Winged Victory standing, depicted with a cross to the right, the face rendered as a series of dots and the hair styled to suggest a helmet, all in a heavily barbarized manner derived from late Byzantine tremissis prototypes. The surrounding legend is entirely degenerate and nonsensical, reflecting the Lombard engravers' unfamiliarity with the Latin script, reduced to a sequence of meaningless letterforms. The field retains the general compositional scheme of the Byzantine Victory type but with marked abstraction of individual design elements. |
